MHPS’s proprietary technologies in low-grade coal combustion for boilers will be used for the project to enable efficient use of lignite.

The plant is scheduled to commence operations in the middle of 2019 and the new unit, once completed, will respond to robust electric power demand accompanying Poland’s steady economic growth.

MHPS-EDE-led consortium comprises civil engineering company Budimex SA and the engineering firm Técnicas Reunidas.

“The country has one of the world’s largest reserves of coal.”

The newly built unit of Turów power plant will feature a boiler, steam turbine, condenser, power generator, instrumentation and control equipment and desulfurisation equipment.
