EC Zofiówka Coal Power Plant | Poland Power Generation Facility

EC Zofiówka is a coal-fired power plant located in Poland, operated by PGNiG Termika. With a capacity of 64 MW, it is a relatively small-scale facility within the country's power generation sector. The plant is operational and contributes to the regional energy supply. The plant operates on coal as its primary fuel, a common but carbon-intensive energy source. In Poland, coal power plants are subject to national emission standards and European Union regulations, including the Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) and Best Available Techniques (BAT) conclusions for large combustion plants. These frameworks set limits on SOx, NOx, and particulate matter emissions, requiring compliance through abatement technologies. As a coal-fired facility, EC Zofiówka has a notable carbon footprint and contributes to local air quality considerations. Its location in an industrial region underscores its role in meeting energy demand, while also highlighting the balance between power generation and environmental stewardship. The plant's operation aligns with Poland's energy mix, which still relies heavily on coal.

The plant's coal combustion releases CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, impacting local air quality. Its 64 MW capacity places it in the small-to-medium scale, with emissions proportional to output. Proximity to populated areas may increase exposure to pollutants. The facility operates under EU emission limits, requiring adherence to BAT for emission control.
