Łagisza is a 700 MW coal power station in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland. It is operated by TAURON Wytwarzanie S.A.. Based on reported annual generation of 2,179 GWh, it can supply roughly 622,628 homes. It ranks #14 of 197 Poland power plants by installed capacity. In context, coal supplies about 50.4% of Poland's electricity; the national grid averages 589 gCO₂/kWh (31.5% low-carbon) (2025).

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:
Estimated, not measured: from reported annual generation × a typical coal emission factor (~1000 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 50.3°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 42% above the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.
Climate heat-demand index: 76/100 — this site sits in the top third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.

The #13 largest coal power plant of 75 in Poland by capacity.
Poland has 75 coal power plants in this dataset, together about 31,540 MW of capacity.
