Overview

Ostrołęka A is a 75 MW coal power plant in Poland, owned by ENERGA. It is an operational facility contributing to the country's power generation sector.

Ostrołęka A is a coal-fired power plant located in Poland, owned by ENERGA. With a capacity of 75 MW, it is a small-scale facility within the Polish power generation landscape. The plant is operational and plays a role in the regional energy supply. As a coal power plant, Ostrołęka A operates under Poland's national emission standards, which align with the European Union's Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU). The facility uses coal as its primary fuel, a common choice in Poland's energy mix. Typical coal plants of this scale in Poland may use subcritical or supercritical technology. The environmental impact of Ostrołęka A includes CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions associated with coal combustion. Its location in Poland, a country with significant coal reliance, places it within a regulatory framework that includes EU emission limits and national environmental policies. The plant's capacity of 75 MW indicates a modest contribution to the grid, serving local or regional demand.

Environmental context

Ostrołęka A, as a coal power plant, contributes to CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, which are typical for coal-fired generation. The plant's location in Poland, a country with a substantial coal industry, means it operates under EU regulations such as the Industrial Emissions Directive. The facility's capacity of 75 MW suggests a relatively small environmental footprint compared to larger coal plants, but its emissions still impact local air quality and contribute to regional pollution.
