The project comprises four gas-fired, combined heat and power (CHP) plants in various locations in Poland. The new units will be located within the boundaries of the existing heat and power generating facilities and replace obsolete coal-fired installations.
Objectives
The projects will contribute to meeting heat and electricity demand at a competitive cost using natural gas as a a fuel source. All components of the project are located in a convergence region. The project is therefore eligible under Article 309 point (a) projects for developing less-developed regions and point (c) common interest of the Treaty on the functioning of the EU. The financing of these investments will contribute to the EIB's lending priority policies on energy efficiency, diversification and security of supply, climate action, and on convergence regions.
