Background

Swedish-based Vattenfall proposed to build a 1620 MW coal-fired power plant in Pulawy through its Polish unit in 2008.[1] In 2010 it was reported that Vattenfall decided to cancel the project, along with a coal plant in Opalenie, but may continue plans with building a power block for its Warsaw-based Siekierki power & heat plant.[2]

The rights for the power project were transferred to ZA Puławy S.A. and PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka Konwencjonalna S.A. in 2011, who are pursuing plans for an 800-900 MW combined cycle natural gas plant instead.[3] On December 23, 2014, Grupa Azoty purchased 100% of the shares in Puławy Power Plant from PGE GiEK, and said it plans to build a 400 MW gas plant.[4]

In 2017 it was reported that Grupa Azoty Pulawy (Azoty Group) had decided to build a 90-100 MW coal-burning power plant unit instead of the gas-fuelled unit which had been planned, the Pulawy power station (Grupa Azoty).[5]
