Ostrołęka coal power plant Unit C (1000MW)

Overview:

• Ostrołęka coal power plant Unit C (1000MW).
• The expansion plans consist of the construction of a new unit at the existing plant.
• The original expansion plans for the plant were put on hold in 2012 due to problems securing financing.
• The concession was reopened in December 2016 after the signing of an investment agreement by Polish energy companies Energa and ENEA along with project SPV Elektrownia Ostrołęka.
• Construction of the new unit is expected to begin in 2018 and be completed in 2023.
• The resurrection of the expansion plans is largely down to the Polish government's support for the coal industry, as the plant will be fueled by coal from the Bogdanka mine.
• The original Ostrołęka A plant itself was commissioned in 1956, with Unit B being built in 1972.
