Background
In May 2013 GDF Suez (now Engie) signed a preliminary agreement with a privately-owned Polish hard coal miner, Lubelski Wegiel Bogdanka, to cooperate in the construction of a 500 MW coal plant on a green field site adjacent to the Bogdanka coal mine in southeast Poland. Bogdanka said if their mining project is approved it would be a key supplier of hard coal and coal slurry for the plant, which could be commissioned in 2020.[2]
In November 2013 Lubelski Wegiel Bogdanka said it will not co-finance the project due to the lack of profitability of investments in coal-fired generation.[3]
In July 2015 Engie said it will not go ahead with the building of the Łęczna coal plant.[4]
According to a 2015 HEAL report, Polish company Bogdanka along with ENGIE Bogdanka have already applied for an environmental permit for the plant.[5]
In December 2020 the project was called off by plant sponsors.[6]
