Background
The power station is owned by Fortum Power and Heat Sp Zoo and is located in Slaskie Province, Poland.[7] The plant co-fires with woody biomass.[8]
Coal retirement
In April 2022, Fortum announced that Czestochowa CHP power station and Zabrze power station would stop burning coal by 2035, as part of their efforts to decarbonize European assets.[9]
In March 2024, Fortum's Sustainability 2023 report stated that the company would exit coal-fired electricity generation by 2027.[10]
