Te-Tol power station is an operating power station of at least 234-megawatts (MW) in Ljubljana, Slovenia with multiple units, some of which are not currently operating. It is also known as Ljubljana CHP power station.

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
Te-Tol is short for Termoelektrarna Toplarna Ljubljana (TE-TOL), which translates to Ljubljana Thermal Power Plant.
TE-Tol station produces as much as half of all the heat that is produced in Slovenia for district heating systems. All electricity is produced in cogeneration mode and represents 3% of all electricity needs in Slovenia.[10]
Coal Units Retirement plans
The power station has been using biomass and wood chips since 2008.[10] Coal used is from the Velenje mine and since 2002 the power station has also been using Indonesian coal.[10] In 2021, the TE-TOL unit was the largest user of wood biomass for energy purposes in Slovenia.[11] Biomass accounts for about 15% of the fuel balance, 85% is coal.[12][10]
In April 2019, Energetika Ljubljana was in the final phase of the procedure for the supply of main technological equipment for the construction of a gas-steam unit (PPE-TOL), which was expected to replace two coal units in the TE-TOL unit by 2022 and enable most of the coal to be withdrawn from Ljubljana.[13]
Two oldest coal units out of the three coal blocks were going to be replaced by the gas-steam unit of 110 MW, which would replace 70% of the coal with fossil gas.[11][12]
In January 2022, the Government of Slovenia adopted the National Strategy for a Coal Exit, defining 2033 as the year by which the coal phase-out would be completed at the latest.[14] It is therefore assumed that the last coal unit will be retired by then.
Gas Units
In 2019 Mytilineos was selected as the EPC contractor.[15][16]
In January 2023, the gas replacement units were reportedly 95% complete. The two coal units slated for retirement would presumably be decommissioned in 2023.[12]
In December 2023, the gas units were not yet operating. Technical inspections and trial operation were expected to begin in early 2024.[17]
