| Description | With the objective of reducing greenhouse gases, the proposed Project would assist the Government in exploiting developing the countries geothermal resources to establish in the Podhale region of Southern Poland a new district heating system with supplementary gas-fired peaking capacity. Specifically, the proposed Project provides for: (a) drilling five geothermal wells including; two for production and three for re-injection, in addition to the two doublets already in place; (b) installing a new base-load district heating plant with a capacity of 60 to 70 MW for heat generation; (c) installing two new natural gas-fired peaking plants at Zakopane (42 MWt) and Nowy Targ (12 MWt); and (d) developing the district heating net work (about 100 km), including the geothermal circuit, transmissions and distribution pipelines, and consumer connections. |
| Implementation Status | Amendment Letter for redenomination of Grant from SDR to Dollar was signed by Country Director. It was planned to extend closing date for two more years through 12/3/2006, but CU disagreed to process the extension in the absence of a time-bound action plan for 1/2005 - 12/2006, and given that the business plan is still being prepared and would not be available until mid-2005. Grant was, therefore, closed as of 12/31/2004. The Implementation Completion Report was delivered. |
