In context: how this plant compares

At 1,120 MW, Grudziądz power station is well above the median gas plant in Poland (141 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG); Siemens Energy: SST-5000, Siemens Energy: SGT5-4000F. 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.
