Turek power station is a 163 MW gas power station in Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland. It ranks #82 of 246 Poland power plants by installed capacity. Its annual emissions of 26,726 t CO₂/yr (EU ETS verified (EUTL 2023)) are equivalent to about 6.2k 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 163 MW, Turek power station is well above the median gas plant in Poland (141 MW). Technically it is described as Engine. Its current lifecycle status is “Announced” — 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.
