CoalGeverifieerd: feb 2026

Elektrownia Łagisza is a significant coal-fired power plant located in Poland, specifically at the coordinates 50.3497, 19.1443. This facility plays a crucial role in the national energy landscape, contributing 460 MW of electricity generation capacity to the regional grid. Operated by Tauron Wytwarzanie S.A., Elektrownia Łagisza has been in operation since its commissioning in 1963, making it a staple in Poland's energy sector for several decades. The plant utilizes coal as its primary fuel source, which is a common method of energy generation in Poland, a country that has historically relied heavily on coal to meet its energy demands. The technology employed by Elektrownia Łagisza is based on traditional coal combustion, which involves the burning of coal to produce steam that drives turbines for electricity generation. This process, while effective in providing a stable energy supply, is also subject to scrutiny due to environmental concerns, particularly regarding emissions. The location of Elektrownia Łagisza within Poland's industrial heartland enhances its importance in providing a reliable source of power to both local and national grids. Its strategic placement aids in balancing demand and supply, particularly during peak consumption periods. As Poland continues to navigate its energy transition, the role of coal-fired plants like Elektrownia Łagisza will be pivotal in bridging the gap towards more sustainable energy sources, while also facing pressure to reduce carbon emissions in line with European Union directives. In summary, Elektrownia Łagisza stands as a testament to Poland's energy history, embodying the challenges and opportunities that the country faces in its ongoing energy evolution.
