The thesis discusses the calculation of the utilization factor and load factor of the hydroelectric power plant Krško for the years 2013, 2014 and 2015. With the utilization factor we can determine the utilization of the plant in the observed time period. The utilization factor provides a ratio between the actual and so called produced electricity in the observed time period. The situation with the load factor is similar, only that the later provides a ratio between the maximal and actual produced electricity. These two indicators are important for the analysis of the operation of the power plant. In the thesis, I wanted to calculate the actual values of the utilization factor and load factor of the hydroelectric power plant Krško from the year 2013 to 2015. As an interesting addition, I also analysed the hydroelectric power plant chain on the river Drava in Austria. I compared the hydroelectric power plants at the lower Sava river with those, owned by the company Verbund AG.
