Unit 5: Converted from coal to bioenergy in 1958.
Background
The power station is owned by Zespół Elektrowni Pątnów Adamów Konin SA and located in Konin, Konin, Wielkopolskie Province, Poland.[6]
As of July 2023, the Konin plant was operating a single 50 MW unit fueled with wood chips, forest residuals, short-rotation coppice (SRC) and agricultural residues.[7]
From 1958 to 2020, Konin also operated three coal-fired units. All of the plant's coal-fired units are now retired, though the 50 MW Unit 5 is in the process of being converted to run on biomass, with an anticipated commissioning date of 2024.[7][8][9]
