BSPiR "ENERGOPROJEKT-KATOWICE SA" SA implemented a project subsidized by the European Fund "EPKogeneracja - Construction of a Low-Emission Power Plant with High-Efficiency Cogeneration for the Energoprojekt Katowice Office Complex in Katowice".

The objective of the project was to increase the share of high-efficiency cogeneration in energy production. The indirect objectives were to improve air quality by reducing dust and greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions, thereby reducing the negative impact of emitted pollutants on the health of the region's residents, and to disseminate and promote high-efficiency cogeneration among the local population and the company's customers. The project contributed to a reduction in energy costs, which improved the company's financial performance and allowed it to increase its competitiveness. An important aspect of the project was to increase the security of energy supply and improve the country's energy balance, including by reducing transmission losses.

The project comprised the construction of a cogeneration unit consisting of 2 units with an electrical capacity of about 206 kWe and a thermal capacity of about 297 kW. The cogeneration unit will be fired with low emission fuel - natural gas.

The project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund for the priority axis: IV. Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy Sources and Low Carbon Economy under Measure 4.4.

High-efficiency cogeneration within the framework of the Regional Operational Programme of the Silesian Voivodeship for 2014-2020.

The cost of the investment is PLN 2,670,330.00 net.

EU subsidy for the project: PLN 1,012,380 net.
