The Miejski Zaklad Energetyki Cieplnej Olawa 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 coal energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Miejski Zakład Energetyki Cieplnej Oława, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 1975, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within Poland, Miejski Zaklad Energetyki Cieplnej Olawa occupies the #113 position among all operational coal power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Poland's total installed coal generating capacity, which currently stands at 62,084 MW. The largest operational coal installation in Poland is the Bełchatów Power Station with an output of 5,472 MW, making the Miejski Zaklad Energetyki Cieplnej Olawa 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 coal power plants (modeled at 55% 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 50.9374° latitude and 17.2810° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the EC Wrocław (coal-fired, 263 MW), the Wrocław combined heat and power plant (gas-fired, 262.6 MW), the Elektrocieplownia Wroclaw (coal-fired, 260 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.
