Construction of the CFB 70 MWe fluidized bed unit in EC Zofiówka (executed by SEJ)

The project provides a solution supporting gradual withdrawal of the worn out units in EC Zofiówka, which will make it possible to generate heat and electricity starting from 2016 for the next 30 years in full compliance with the requirements of the IED Directive, with higher generation efficiency and fully satisfying the demand of EC Zofiówka’s customers for heat and electricity in this period.

The solution will make it possible to generate electricity and heat on the basis of the fluidized bed boiler burning steam coal and low calorific value coal fuels from JSW S.A. mines, and other types of renewable fuels (biomass).

The changing situation in the energy sector and shifts in forecasted energy prices in the long term entail the need for another review of the project with a simultaneous analysis of alternative solutions.
