PGNIG Termika to build a new combined cycle gas and steam unit

PGNiG Termika,the heat generation unit of Poland's largest gas company PGNiG, has decided to develop new combined cycle gas and steam units in its Żerań plant in Warsaw. PGNiG rejected a proposal made by heat distributor Dalkia to modernize the timeworn coal units. The investment is planned to be completed by 2018. The new unit is designed to supply the city with the power of 420-450 MW, substituting old coal units that currently create 600 MW of power. PGNiG Termika's CEO Adam Gajewski is also worried by the planned investment by Dalkia in Ursus. „If Dalkia builds the electrical power and heating plant there, and decides to supply the city with equal power for the whole year, we will be forced to stop the production in EC Siekierki during the summer months,” he told Rzeczpospolita.
