Construction of a CCGT unit at the Żerań CHP plant (Żerań CCGT)

The first phase of a four-phase project to alter the cooling water system was completed. Designs were made for a project to adapt and connect the existing equipment of the Żerań CHP Plant to PSE SA’s new switchgear; a building permit was obtained for the project. In line with the procedure timetable, on February 16th, 2017 tenders were opened in a second tendering procedure for the delivery and installation of a CCGT unit at the Żerań CHP plant. Tenders were submitted by two consortia: the GE Power Sp. z o.o./General Electric International, Inc. and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Europe GmbH/Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Ltd/Mitsubishi Hitachi Power System Europe Ltd/Polimex Mostostal SA. The final award decision will be made after the tenders have been reviewed and evaluated.

Construction of a CCGT unit in Stalowa Wola

Construction of the project was not completed to schedule. Accordingly, PGNiG and TAURON Polska Energia S.A. made a decision to restructure the project. An agreement on key preconditions for the project restructuring was signed in October 2016, aligning ECSW’s existing commercial agreements to the expected start date of commercial operation and current market conditions. A survey of the project’s status ended in 2016. The project will be resumed by a specialised firm, responsible for supporting its coordination on an EPCM basis. Preparations are ongoing for the launch of an EPCM contract award procedure. In 2016, the project sponsors PGNiG and TAURON Polska Energia S.A. provided an approximately PLN 25m loan to fund ECSW’s day-to-day operations.
