RWE, one of the leading energy companies in Europe, is planning to construct a large hard-coal power plant in Poland. The investment of Euro 1.5 billion is one of the biggest-ever projects in the Polish energy sector. The new power station to be based in the village of Wola, Upper Silesia, will feature state-of-the-art technology. The energy-efficient, 800-megawatt unit will emit reduced amounts of CO2 and significantly enhance the country’s security of electricity supply. Technically it is a twin of the power plant currently being constructed by RWE in Hamm, Germany.
