Energa, Enea agree to jointly develop new new coal-fired power plant

The Polish press announced on Wednesday that Energa and Enea had concluded plans to build a new power plant at Energa’s Ostrołęka facility. The report indicated that Enea obtained 50 percent of share capital – worth PLN 101 million – to assist in completing the development phase of the project. The company will spend a reported PLN 128 million on the development phase of  the Ostrołęka C’ plant, while Energa will spend PLN 27 million. The report said that the next step will be to sign the investment agreement. They will then announce a tender for the selection of a general contractor to build the plant, which will have 1,000 MW of electricity. It would double the capacity of the Ostrołęka site, which already has 2 older units producing a combined 1,113 MW of electricity. Construction was said to be slated to begin this year, and to be completed in late 2023.
