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.

Background
The Pomorzany power plant was built in 1936–40. The plant was destroyed during WWII, and was not restarted until 1961, when two 67 MW coal-fired units were commissioned.[4]
In 2012, PGE proposed a 240 MW gas plant to replace the power station's two coal-fired units.[5]
In 2015, PGE began work to retrofit the coal plant and extend its life through 2039,[6] suggesting plans to close the units and replace them with a gas plant has been shelved.
In November 2022, the INSTRAT database listed 2030 as a possible retirement year for the power station.[7]
In January 2025, PGE Energia Ciepła announced that it had won a cogeneration premium auction, which it described as the first step toward building a new gas-fired cogeneration unit in Szczecin to replace coal-fired boilers at the Pomorzany CHP plant. The two currently operated coal-fired boilers were planned to be gradually decommissioned by 2030. PGE also reported that the planned gas engine-based cogeneration project (about 23 MWt and 24 MWe) was in the preparation phase and had already secured financial support.[8]
