Lubelski Wegiel Bogdanka S.A.

Lubelski Wegiel Bogdanka S.A. is a Polish company which owns and operates the Bogdanka coal mine, a major thermal coal mine.

Background
In 2011 the mine produced approximately 5.8 million tonnes of coal.

Coal from the mine is supplied to the Kozienice Power Plant under a long term agreement to other industrial customers including cement producers. In its August 2012 half year report Lubelski Wegiel Bogdanka stated that "over 74% of coal sales" in terms of value for the six months to June 2012 were to four power companies under long trm agreements: Elektrownia Kozienice S.A., GDF Suez Energia S.A., Elektrownia Ostrołęka S.A. and Grupa Ozarow.

In 2010 Lubelski Wegiel Bogdanka entered into an agreement that from 2016 it would supply the proposed 1000 megawatt Ostroleka C power station, an expansion of the existing Ostroleka power station. Platts reported that "Bogdanka said it may terminate the contract if financing and a design, order and construction contract for the new unit have not been secured by the end of June 2012."
