Tauron signs PLN 4.4 billion deal
Polish WSE-listed utility Tauron has signed a contract with a consortium led by Rafako to build a 800-910 MW power block in its Jaworzno power plant. The deal is worth PLN 4.4 billion.
The tender to build the facility had ended back in January 2013, but the deadline for signing the contract has been postponed numerous times as the winning consortium comprising of Rafako and Mostostal Warszawa had troubles securing the performance bond.
The new power unit is expected to be completed within the next 59 months. It will replace one of the older blocks in the Jaworzno power plant, which currently has nine coal-fired units with 1,535 MW capacity. It will emit 25 percent less CO2 than the unit it will replace.
