Description

The project addresses one of the most pressing matters when it comes to the Polish power industry transformation, that is focusing on green energy. It will contribute to enlarging the proportion of hydropower in the energy mix and simultaneously reduce the volume of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere. It also corresponds to:
• Renewable Energy Directive (RED II);
• Poland''s Energy Policy 2040;
• National Low-Emission Economy Plan;
• Low-Emission Economy Plan for Gubin; and others.


In order to achieve the desired objectives, the project team has designed a modernisation plan of the Gubin hydroelectric power plant together with the relevant time horizon. By March 2024 two hydrosections of the facility will have been replaced and one will have been modernised. Upon completion, these procedures shall
grant the outcomes that have been mapped out. The projected goals are increasing the generation potential of the plant (more green energy), decreasing the
volume of CO2 emitted, improving reliability of the modernised infrastructure, diminishing.


The beneficiaries of this project include consumers of the green energy produced, the communities living in the neighboring
areas which will remain intact, experts and students who will undergo tailor-made trainings
