Background
In September 2017 it was reported that Poland’s energy minister Krzysztof Tchorzewski expects state-run utility Enea to build a 500 megawatt IGCC plant in Leczna for around 5 billion zlotys (US$1.41 billion). The plant would use coal from the Bogdanka coal mine, which is 66% owned by Enea.[1]
In December 2019, Mitsubishi and Enea submitted an application to create a joint partnership to build the plant. The application is under review.[2]
In November 2020, wnp.pl reported the plant had been shelved by Polish officials, due to concerns over the plant's profitability given EU climate policies[3] and the declining economics of coal. However, the plant has not been officially called off by project sponsors.
In April 2023, Leczna24.pl reported that the gasified coal power plant would not be built [4], and that Enea's initial 2020 plans for the IGCC plant never entered the implementation phase.
