ORLEN starts construction work on its CCGT project in Wloclawek

PKN ORLEN has officially launched construction work on what will be the largest state-of-the-art CCGT plant in Poland. The new 470 MWe unit will generate heat and electricity simultaneously, using the co-generation technology. This highly efficient and environment-friendly generation method will be used e.g. by Anwil and PKN ORLEN. The foundation stone ceremony for the project was held today. The new CCGT plant is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2015.
