Cieplownia Swietoszow

Oil

The Cieplownia Swietoszow is a key infrastructure asset in Poland's power generation grid, located on the continent of Europe. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing oil energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Zespół Elektrowni Pątnów-Adamów-Konin SA, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2015, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Poland, Cieplownia Swietoszow occupies the #3 position among all operational oil power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Poland's total installed oil generating capacity, which currently stands at 655 MW. The largest operational oil installation in Poland is the EC PKN Orlen with an output of 600 MW, making the Cieplownia Swietoszow approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of Poland's aggregate generation capacity of 82,656 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of oil power plants (modeled at 15% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Poland consumes 4 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 51.4756° latitude and 15.3900° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the FW Mycielin (wind-powered, 46 MW), the Rothenburg Solar Power Plant (solar, 37 MW), the G�rlitz Solar Power Plant (solar, 6 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Poland.

An Overview of Oil as a Power Generation Energy Source

Oil power generation involves the combustion of oil to produce electricity. The process typically begins with the extraction and refining of crude oil, which is then burned in a power plant to create steam. This steam drives turbines connected to generators, converting thermal energy into electrical energy. Oil power plants can vary in design, including steam turbine plants, gas turbine plants, and combined cycle plants, which utilize both gas and steam turbines to enhance efficiency. As of now, there are 2,416 oil power plants worldwide, distributed across 108 countries, with a total installed capacity of 286.9 gigawatts (GW).
