EC Łódź-3 Coal Power Plant, Łódź, Poland | 205 MW Facility

EC Łódź-3 is a coal-fired power plant located in Łódź, Poland, with a capacity of 205 MW. The plant is owned and operated by Veolia Energia Łódź and is currently operational, playing a role in the local energy supply. The facility operates under Polish and EU regulations, including the Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) and Best Available Techniques (BAT) conclusions for large combustion plants. As a coal plant, it is subject to emission limits for SOx, NOx, and particulates, and participates in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) for CO2. EC Łódź-3 provides electricity and potentially heat to the Łódź area. Its coal fuel source and age may influence its environmental footprint, but it remains part of the regional energy infrastructure. The plant's capacity of 205 MW places it in the medium-scale range for coal power in Poland.

The plant's coal combustion generates CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate emissions, which are regulated under EU directives. Its location in Łódź, a populated urban area, means emissions can affect local air quality. Older coal plants typically have higher emission intensities. Compliance with EU BAT standards is required to minimize environmental impact.
