Project-level coal details

• Coal source(s): KWK Borynia-Zofiówka-Bzie Coal Mine

Background

The 64 MW power station that opened in 1974 was located in Slaskie Province, Poland, and was owned by Spółka Energetyczna Jastrzębie.

In October 2013, Spółka Energetyczna Jastrzębie (SEJ) announced plans to build a new unit at the Zofiówka Mine power station. The new unit was expected to use circulating fluidized bed (CFB) technology and generate 75 MW of electricity.

In August 2016, PGNiG Termika purchased SEJ and its combined heat and power (CHP) plants from Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa (JSW).

In November 2018, Unit 3 with 81 MW of electricity capacity began operating. The unit reportedly runs on coal, coal mine methane from the KWK Borynia-Zofiówka-Bzie Coal Mine, agricultural biomass, and light heating oil.
