CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Ownership Tree
This ownership tree is part of the Global Energy Ownership Tracker, a project of Global Energy Monitor.
Background
The power station is owned by PGE Energia Ciepła S.A. and is located in Gdańsk, Pomorskie Province, Poland.[8]
Coal retirement
According to PGE's 2030 Strategy, the company would be increasing low- and zero-emission fuels' share of energy generation in the coming years. This would presumably include retiring the coal-firing units at Gdansk-2 power station by 2030.[9]
In October 2024, the retirement of coal in Gdansk by 2030 was reiterated.[10]
