PGE Launches Poland’s Largest and One of Europe’s Most Advanced Gas Power Plants
PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna has officially commissioned Poland's largest and one of Europe’s most modern gas power plants. The 1,366 MW gross capacity unit is located in Gryfino, in the West Pomeranian region. It will supply 1.4 GW to the grid, covering approximately 5 percent of the national electricity demand and powering around 3 million households. According to the Ministry of Climate and Environment, this is a critical investment for national security and a tangible sign that the energy transition is underway.
“This is the most advanced gas-steam power plant in Poland and one of the most modern in Europe, stabilizing the energy system amid a growing share of renewable sources,” Dariusz Marzec, CEO of PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna, said.
PGE Gryfino Dolna Odra includes two gas-steam units, each with a gross capacity of 683 MW, replacing outdated coal units at the Dolna Odra Power Plant. The new plant’s capacity is under a 17-year capacity market contract starting in 2024.
