Turow power station

The Turow power station is a 2,000 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station in Bogatynia, Poland, which the Environmental Defense Fund reports has been operating since 1962.

The plant is owned by Polska Grupa Energetyczna (PGE SA or PGE Group, the name can be translated as Polish Energy Group). In 2012 PGE Group said it might consider building lignite mines and power plants in the Lubuskie region, Western Poland, in a long term perspective, as the deposits of its current mine in Turow will likely be depleted within 30 years. PGE holds permits to explore lignite deposits in the region.
