CCGT Grudziądz

What CCGT Grudziądz does

CCGT Grudziądz Sp. z o.o. is a Polish private limited liability company (Sp. z o.o.) established as a special-purpose vehicle wholly owned by Energa S.A., which itself sits within the ORLEN Group. The company's sole function is to develop, build, and operate a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power generation facility in the southern part of Grudziądz, Kujawsko-Pomorskie Province. The asset targets Poland's National Power System (KSE) and the regulatory capacity market operated by Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne (PSE), providing dispatchable generation, grid balancing, and backup for intermittent renewable energy sources during the country's coal-to-cleaner-fuel transition.

The facility is built around a single-shaft turbo-generator configuration integrating a Siemens SGT5-4000 gas turbine, Siemens SST5-5000 steam turbine, and Siemens SGen5-3000W generator coupled to an HRSG (Heat Recovery Steam Generator) boiler and a wet cooling tower. Block I delivers approximately 560 MWe of net capacity at ≥61% net efficiency, with emissions more than 2x lower than conventional coal plants, and is connected to both 400 kV and 110 kV transmission via the Grudziądz-Węgrowo substation. A plant-wide Distributed Control System with ~300 km of control cabling functions as the operational nervous system, and a closed-loop cooling circuit draws process water from the Vistula River. Block II is under formal development following contractor selection in September 2025, and combined with the parallel CCGT Gdańsk project will exceed 1.1 GW of net capacity.

The business model is a regulated B2G / B2B infrastructure play rather than a consumer-facing commercial business. Revenue is generated through long-term capacity market contracts (17-year tenor secured at 534.09 zł/kW/rok in the 2025 PSE supplementary auction for 2029 delivery) and electricity sales into the wholesale grid. Customers are limited to the regulated TSO / national power system; there are no disclosed retail customers, third-party PPAs, or merchant export channels. Procurement, treasury, IT, and DPO functions are shared with the ORLEN / Energa group via the CONNECT platform. Headcount is approximately 30, consistent with a lean SPV structure that draws on group-level support for corporate services.

Core offering

CCGT Grudziądz Sp. z o.o. is developing and operating a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant in Grudziądz, Poland, generating electricity through high-efficiency gas-fired generation with approximately 560 MWe net capacity and ≥61% net efficiency. The facility uses a single-shaft Siemens SGT5-4000 gas turbine, SST5-5000 steam turbine, and SGen5-3000W generator configuration with HRSG boiler and wet cooling tower. Electricity and capacity are sold to the Polish national grid through regulated capacity market contracts with PSE and bilateral electricity sales, providing grid stabilization and balancing services.

Product overview

CCGT Grudziądz operates as a power generation company building and operating combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) units. The primary product is CCGT Grudziądz I (Block I) — a ~560 MWe net capacity gas-steam power unit featuring Siemens SGT5-4000 gas turbine, Siemens SST5-5000 steam turbine, and Siemens SGen5-3000W generator on a single-shaft configuration with HRSG boiler and wet cooling tower. The company is also developing CCGT Grudziądz II (Block II), with both units together planned to exceed 1.1 GW total net capacity. The core service offering is electricity generation — providing grid stabilization, balancing services, and capacity market contracts to support Poland's energy security and transition from coal-based generation. The facility is strategically positioned to balance variable renewable energy sources in the National Power System.

Products and services

• CCGT Grudziądz I (Block I) Combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power generation unit with approximately 560 MWe net capacity and ≥61% net efficiency. Configured as a single-shaft turbo set comprising a Siemens SGT5-4000 gas turbine, Siemens SST5-5000 steam turbine, Siemens SGen5-3000W generator, HRSG boiler, and wet cooling tower. Connected to 400 kV and 110 kV power grids. Fueled by high-methane natural gas.
• CCGT Grudziądz II (Block II) Second combined cycle gas turbine unit planned for the Grudziądz site as part of Energa Group's expansion of gas-fired generation capacity. Together with CCGT Gdańsk, total net achievable capacity will exceed 1.1 GW.
• Electricity Generation and Grid Balancing Services Natural gas-fired power generation using combined cycle technology. The facility provides grid stabilization and balancing support for Poland's National Power System (KSE), particularly for intermittent renewable energy sources. High efficiency (≥61%), low emissions (over 2x lower than coal), and flexible operation characteristics enable rapid response to dynamic electricity demand changes.
