POWER
Polish Tauron is mulling a 120MW gas cogeneration unit at the Lagisza power plant, while cancelling plans for a 400MW larger gas-steam unit due to profitability concerns, it said today.
- Additionally, the company is also exploring 200-600MW gas peak units at existing coal power plant sites, including Lagisza, to stabilise the network amidst rising renewable energy capacity.
- The high-efficiency 120MW gas unit will be adapted for zero-emission fuels, with an emission factor below 270 kg CO₂ per MWh.
- The project aligns with the firm 2025-35 strategy that is targeting over 1.1GW of new or modernised heating capacity by 2030.
