Owner's Engineer during the construction of the CCGT unit in Gdańsk

The CCGT unit will be located in the Rudniki district of Gdańsk. The project is distinguished, among other things, by an innovative and unique solution on a national scale: the use of water from the Wschód Wastewater Treatment Plant for cooling and supplying the steam system, which fits perfectly with the idea of a circular economy.

The construction of gas and steam units is a significant element in the implementation of Poland's Energy Policy up to 2040. These units are characterised by more than twice as low emissions compared to coal-fired units, as well as high operational flexibility, enabling a rapid response to the needs of the power system.

The new CCGT Gdańsk unit will be one of the key sources balancing the National Power System, supporting Poland’s energy transition towards a low-emission economy.

The subject of the contract is to act as the Owner’s Engineer during the construction of the gas and steam unit in Gdańsk, for the following tasks:

• Construction of a gas and steam (CCGT) unit in Gdańsk with an installed net capacity of approx. 560 MWe, together with the necessary technical infrastructure
• 110 kV cable line for the station’s own needs – to GPZ Gdańsk Pleniewo
• 400 kV overhead power line for power evacuation from the station – to GPZ Gdańsk Błonia
• Construction of roads along with technical infrastructure for the planned gas and steam power plant in the area of the Wschód Wastewater Treatment Plant in Gdańsk
