What future for the Belchatow Power Plant? Directions and opportunities for transformation

Poland's energy sector is facing an urgent transformational challenge. In the face of this process, it is necessary to maintain generation capacity to ensure the security of electricity supply while addressing economic and social challenges. The Belchatow power plant holds a special place on the road map of energy and economic transformation. According to the territorial plan for the just transition of the region of Lodz, lignite production in Belchatow will decrease.

The questions are, what can replace the high-carbon generating capacity, what are the alternatives to lignite in the region, and can the process be carried out while maintaining security of energy supply in 2030?

Bloomberg Philanthropies, BloombergNEF and Forum Energii invite to attend an expert meeting to celebrate the release of BNEF's latest report and analysis of possible solutions and alternatives for the Belchatow Power Plant.

BNEF will present its conclusions on options for the future operation of the Belchatow Power Plant, which will allow replacing the existing lignite power with other sources, thus ensuring safety, autonomy and flexibility.
