Jaworzno bloc 60% ready - Tauron

The construction of Tauron’s new 910 MW bloc in the Jaworzno power plant is going according to the plan with 60 percent of the works completed, the company said. Additionally, the facility’s boiler with a mass of over 7,000 metric tons has already passed a successful pressure test. The government wants to use this project to highlight its efforts to cut CO2 emissions. “In a few months, in Silesia, there will be a discussion on COP24 - it is important that we can show our modernity, innovation and investment efficiency as an energy environment. But we also show how we will use this coal when it comes to its energy role, fulfilling environmental parameters and applying modern technologies,” said energy deputy minister Grzegorz Tobiszowski. The planned deadline in Q4 next year looks feasible, Tauron’s CEO Filip Grzegorczyk. “Today we have no threats, we have no reason to believe that there will be any delay. We will do everything so that at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2019 this investment could be considered as finished and successful.”
