"The head of Poland's energy market regulator URE has resolved the auction for the CHP premium for entities generating electricity and heat in cogeneration," URE announced.
"Support will go to six companies that have committed to generate, feed into the grid and sell more than 5.7 TWh of energy from high-efficiency cogeneration. The value of the contracted support is more than PLN 1.37 billion," it added.
The regulator reported that the winning bids were submitted by six companies: CALOR Energetyka Cieplna Sp. z o.o. based in Wojkowice, Miejska Energetyka Cieplna Sp. z o.o. based in Koszalin, Miejskie Przedsiebiorstwo Energetyki Cieplnej Sp. z o.o. based in Brzesko, PGE Energia Ciepla S.A. based in Warsaw, Veolia Poludnie Sp. z o.o. based in Tarnowskie Gory and Veolia Połnoc Sp. z o.o. based in Swiecie.
"The minimum premium indicated in the winning bids is PLN 219.00/MWh, while the maximum is PLN 248.80/MWh," URE said in the statement.
