Gdynia-3 power station is a 50 MW gas power plant in Pomorskie, Poland. It ranks #131 of 246 Poland power plants by installed capacity. Its annual emissions of 639,172 t CO₂/yr (EU ETS verified (EUTL 2023)) are equivalent to about 149k cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 14.3% of Poland's electricity; the national grid averages 589 gCO₂/kWh (31.5% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares
At 50 MW, Gdynia-3 power station is below the median gas plant in Poland (141 MW). Its current lifecycle status is “Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.
