CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Background
Bydgoszcz power station consists of two coal-fired plants: Bydgoszcz I and II. Bydgoszcz I is a two-unit, 14 MW plant built in 1941-65. Bydgoszcz II is 187 MW and consists of four units of 32-55 MW each, built in 1971-84. Its unit 5 was retired in 2015.[8]
According to PGE's "Strategy 2030", Bydgoszcz would transition to zero emission fuels by 2030.[9]
As of June 2024, two units at Bydgoszcz II were slated to be decommissioned and replaced by gas-fired capacity in 2025. The two retiring units were presumed to be Units 1 and 2.[10]
Proposed gas-fired station
In 2012, project sponsor Polska Grupa Energetyczna (PGE) invited five potential contractors to take part in a tender to build a gas-fired combined cycle power unit at the existing Bydgoszcz power station. The winning contractor will be responsible for building a unit with a power capacity of 220-270 MW or 400-450 MW.[11] This proposed project was never built;[12] however, in 2019, PGE proposed a new 52 MW gas-fired CHP unit that will begin operating in 2022.[13][14]
Pollution controls
In 2013, PGE signed a PLN $73 million contract ($17.5 million euro) with Alstom for the construction of a fluidized gas desulfurization retrofit to control pollution at the Bydgoszcz power station, planned for 2015.[15]
