A new gas-and-steam combined heat and power plant, Czechnica-2, in Siechnice near Wrocław, built by Zespół Elektrociepłowni Wrocławskich KOGENERACJA of the PGE Group (PGE Energia Ciepła). The gas-and-steam unit, with an electrical capacity of 179 MWe and a thermal capacity of 315 MWt, comprises two Siemens SGT-800 gas turbines, heat-recovery boilers and a steam turbine; it replaced the more than century-old, coal-fired Czechnica unit. The main contractor was Polimex Mostostal. Construction took about four years, and the PLN 1.4 billion investment was placed into operation in May 2025. The installation is a municipal district-heating source - it covers about 20 percent of the heat demand of Wrocław residents and all customers in the Siechnice municipality connected to the district-heating network.

Significance

A municipal district-heating source for the Wrocław agglomeration: the new unit meets about 20 percent of the heat demand of Wrocław residents and serves all customers in the Siechnice municipality connected to the network. Replacing a more than century-old coal-fired CHP plant with a high-efficiency gas-and-steam unit radically reduces the emissions of district heating in the region - CO2 emissions fall by 61 percent, that is by about 622 thousand tonnes per year, together with a manifold reduction in emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides and particulates. The investment is part of the PGE Group's move away from coal in district heating.

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.
