Poland to launch new cogeneration support system in 2019
09:00
The Energy Ministry assumes in the planned energy policy that investments in new coal blocks made after 2025 will be based on co-generation or other technology meeting the emission standards of 450 kg CO2 per MWh, Deputy Minister of Energy Tomasz Dąbrowski said.
The planned energy policy envisages striving to increase the number of energy-efficient district heating systems, by means of the maneuvering of the power plant and the construction of new units thanks to the introduction of a new support mechanism.
The new system should be launched in 2019, with the first auctions under that support to be held in mid-2019, Dąbrowski added.
Some 5 GW of capacity could end up covered from existing, upgraded and new units, but excluding existing coal-fired plants.
