Legnica Power Station

Legnica Power Station is a proposed 4500 MW coal station by Poland-based KGHM Cuprum and Poland electric utility PGE for the south-western city of Legnica, Poland. The companies also plan a new brown coal mine. In 2009 deputy president for extraction at PGE Andrzej Jeznach said it would take around 15-20 years for completing the investment.

Legnica is the site of the existing Legnica coal mine in Lower Silesian Voivodeship. Legnica represents one of the largest coal mines in Poland, with estimated reserves of 2,504 million tonnes, and annual cost production of 27 million tonnes.
