Construction of a cogeneration coal-fired unit with 100 MW of electric and 300 MW of thermal capacity at the Grupa Azoty Puławy plant. The contract with a consortium led by Polimex Mostostal was concluded on 25 September 2019, and completion was planned for the third quarter of 2022. After a 2023 annex the total project budget is PLN 1.23 billion. Start-up began in July 2022 and the guaranteed parameters were not reached. In January 2025, at 593 days of delay, Grupa Azoty Puławy terminated the contract for the unfinished scope. The dispute went to mediation in April 2026, and the company does not know whether or when the unit will start.

Significance
The unit was to replace two old units from the 1960s. It is not operating commercially. Start-up revealed unstable operation, numerous failures and failure to reach the guaranteed parameters. The company is running tenders to complete start-up and is talking to the suppliers of the turbine set and the flue-gas desulphurisation plant. According to Parkiet, if the unit does not start, the company may lose over a billion zloty on the investment.

Independence is counted the same way the gate that admits a record counts it: subdomains and titles from one publisher are a single voice, Wikipedia is zero. That is why the number is lower than the number of links. Three is the minimum.
