The UN Climate Summit COP24 begins on 3 December in Katowice, Poland. Instead of supporting climate protection and innovative solutions, Poland’s contribution to climate policy is the construction of a new coal-fired power plant Ostrołęka C.
więcejOn the eve of the trilogue meeting on the capacity market scheduled for 13 November, Polish social organizations working for environmental and climate protection appeal to Ministers and MEPs to ensure that the power mechanism is not used to support the construction of new coal-fired capacities such as the planned Ostrołęka C power plant in Poland.
więcejTrade union Synergia filed a lawsuit against Enea for revoking the directional consent for the construction of Ostrołęka C power plant. Trade unionists had been criticising the project for several months as unprofitable and politically driven, and they had presented their concerns directly to Minister Tchórzewski.
więcejJagiellonian Institute questions the legitimacy of investing in the construction of a new coal-fired unit in Ostrołęka. In view of the upcoming increases in energy prices, the increase in prices of CO2 emission rights and the sharp increase in imports of Russian coal, investing in Ostrołęka C is ridiculous.
więcejThe condition of Polish energy sector is terrible. Energy utilities are suffering drops in the stock market which can be attributed to Minister Tchórzewski’s attempts to centrally control the energy market to make construction of Ostrołęka C possible.
