Background
The power station has four units in Łódź, Łódzkie Province, Poland.[4]
In August 2024, an Arup supplementary report for Veolia Energia Polska’s planned waste-to-energy project in Łódź stated that all assessed transition scenarios assumed a phase-out of coal-based infrastructure in 2029 or 2030, with gas expected to be phased out in 2035 (to be replaced by biomethane in gas units).[5] In the Energy Regulatory Office’s public power plant database (version 3.5, dated 12 February 2025), the end of coal operations for the Łódź plant was listed as end-2030.[6]
