Background

The Elbląg plant was originally commissioned in 1928. However, it suffered damage during the war and was rebuilt in 1946. The plant expanded from 1953-1956, and added cogeneration in the 1960s. It has been operating under Energa since 1997.

In 2020, Energa proposed converting the fuel source from hard coal to gas. To this end, they are investing in a new gas-fired unit in a combined cycle cogeneration system to continue to provide power to Elblag's heating and power system. In 2021, construction of two boilers was completed, with plans to finish the system in the coming years.
