Overview
EC Zduńska Wola is a 12 MW coal power plant in Poland, operated by SFW Energia Sp. z o.o. The facility is operational and contributes to the local power grid.
EC Zduńska Wola is a coal-fired power plant located in Poland, with a capacity of 12 MW. The facility is owned and operated by SFW Energia Sp. z o.o. and is currently in operational status. As a coal power plant, it forms part of Poland's energy mix, which relies heavily on coal for electricity generation. The plant operates under Poland's national emission standards, which are aligned with the European Union's Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU). This directive sets emission limit values for pollutants such as SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, requiring the use of Best Available Techniques (BAT) to minimize environmental impact. Given its small capacity of 12 MW, the plant is considered a small-scale facility within the sector. EC Zduńska Wola plays a role in supplying electricity to the local community and supporting grid stability in the region. The plant's coal-based generation contributes to CO2 emissions, but its small scale limits its overall environmental footprint. The facility's operational status ensures continued power supply to the area.
Environmental context
The plant's coal combustion releases CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, contributing to local air quality concerns. Poland's reliance on coal for power generation means that facilities like EC Zduńska Wola operate within a regulatory framework that requires adherence to EU emission standards. The plant's small capacity (12 MW) reduces its overall environmental impact compared to larger coal plants, but it still faces scrutiny under the Industrial Emissions Directive.
