Background on Plant
Lagisza power station began as a seven-unit coal-fired power plant of 120 MW each, with a total capacity of 840 MW. The first six units were completed in 1963, and the seventh in 1970. Unit 3 was retired in 1998. In 2009 unit 4 was retired, and the 460 MW unit 8 went online. Unit 8 was the world's first supercritical circulating fluidized bed project with the world's largest circulating fluidized bed boiler.[5] The unit also co-fires with biomass.[6][7]
Units 1-2 were retired in 2013, and Unit 5 in 2016.[8]
According to Montel News, Units 6-7 of the power station were retired in 2020, leaving only Unit 8 (460 MW).[9]
Proposed gas plant
On December 19, 2012, Polskie Górnictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo and TAURON Polska Energia signed a letter of intent concerning construction of a 400 MW gas-fired co-generation unit at the site of the Łagisza Power Plant.[10] According to Argus Media in March 2018, Tauron still wanted to build a 413 MW gas-fired plant at the site, but "the project is still in the analysis phase and is unlikely to be given a green light in the near future."[11]
Although there was reporting on building a gas connection to the site in 2014[12], as of 2020 the future of this proposal remains uncertain, with no additional update since.[13] The project is presumed to be cancelled.
