| Unit 1 | Retired[5] | coal: bituminous, bioenergy: wastewater and sewage sludge (solids or biogas) | 52.6 | subcritical | – | 1980 | 2024[5] |
| Unit 2 | Operating | coal: bituminous, bioenergy: wastewater and sewage sludge (solids or biogas) | 52.6 | subcritical | – | 1990 | 2030 (planned)[5] |
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
The power station is owned by PGE Energia Ciepła S.A. and located in Gdynia, Pomorskie Province, Poland.[6] The plant co-fires with biomass.[7]
Coal retirement
According to PGE's 2030 Strategy, the company would be increasing low- and zero-emission fuels' share of energy generation in the coming years. This would presumably include a partial retirement of the coal-firing units at Gdansk-3 power station by 2030.[8]
In May 2024, the first coal-fired unit at Gdansk-3 power station was retired. The unit was reportedly being replaced by oil and gas capacity.[9]
