Greenpeace activists end their protest at Chvaletice brown coal plant

Greenpeace activists have ended their protest at the brown coal power plant in Chvaletice in north-east Bohemia. Nearly a dozen activists climbed to the top of the plant’s cooling tower on Monday morning to protest against a renovation of the plant which would enable it to remain in operation until the year 2030. The plant is currently shut down due to reconstruction work. A spokeswoman for Severní energetická, which owns the coal plant, said the company was currently assessing potential damages caused by the protest.
