GE has announced the order of two high-efficiency power units to be constructed through consortium at the Polska Grupa Energetyczna Górnictwo i Energetyka Konwencjonalna’s (PGE) Dolna Odra power plant in the Western Pomerania region of Poland. The order will include two GE 9HA.01 gas turbines, along with two STF-D650 steam turbines, providing up to 1.4GW at Dolna Odra. The order will help stabilise the regional grid, which heavily utilises onshore and offshore wind farms.

The plants are scheduled to be commissioned in 2023, and are expected to lower CO2 emissions by about 2-3 million tonnes per year. The new power plant expansion has been awarded a 17-year contract in the main power market auction, which will begin in 2024.

The GE-led consortium includes the Polish company Polimex Mostostal , which has been awarded the EPC contract for the new units, together with full underground infrastructure. GE factories in Elblag and Wroclaw in Poland will also produce equipment for the project. The order also includes a 12-year service contract with GE.
