The Polish treasury is keen to have the contract signed before the sale of a 51% stake in Elektrownia Kozienice's parent Enea, but the agreement will be conditional due to the uncertainty surrounding the prospective new owner's plans, the newspaper said.
Bogdanka was not immediately available for comment.
Bogdanka and Elektrownia Kozienice previously signed a long-term coal supply deal valued at Zloty 10.4 billion in March. The coal supplies related to that contract are expected to commence in 2011 following the conclusion of an existing supply agreement and run through to the end of 2025.
Enea, Poland's third largest power company, is planning to build two 900-1,000 MW units at its 2,880 MW Electrownia Kozienice plant in southeast Poland. The company launched a tender for the first unit in early March and said it would choose a contractor to build the super critical hard coal-fired
block before the end of this year.
Meanwhile, the Polish Treasury expects to receive binding offers for a 51% stake valued at Zloty 5 billion in Enea by the end of the month. The sale, which the government hopes to conclude by the end of the year, is part of the government's ambitious plan to raise Zloty 25 billion from divesting state assets this year.
Enea, based in Poznan, western Poland, has 16% of the country's sales market with its customer base of 2.3 million customers. Its 2,880 MW capacity Elektrownia Kozienice is the largest hard coal-fired plant in the country and produces around 8% of the country's power.
