Data provenance

Source of the capacity and fuel values:

capacity: Energa, 13 January 2026; fuel: WRI GPPD

Station B capacity: Energa, 13 January 2026. Operating-station context: Energa, 8 September 2026. Checked 6 October 2026. The separate gas project is not included.

In context: how this plant compares

Ostrołęka B is the three-unit coal station. Energa reports 690 MWe installed capacity after modernisation of unit 3. It is distinct from the Ostrołęka C combined-cycle gas project.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.

1,602,165 t CO₂/yr — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

8.9krailcars of coal burned
373kgasoline cars driven for a year
479wind turbines running for a year
1.6%of the CO₂ from all Poland power plants with an emissions figure in PowerAtlas

Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies; emissions per EU ETS verified (EUTL 2023) (measured for US EPA/EU ETS, modelled for Climate TRACE).
