Polska Grupa Biogazowa (PGB) has completed the expansion and modernisation of its biogas facility in Dzierżki, Podlaskie, bringing total installed capacity to 1.498 MWe electrical and 1.621 MWt thermal.
Annual electricity generation at the site is projected to reach 12,466 MWh, with heat output of 13,489 MWhth.
Infrastructure upgrades include an expanded biogas treatment station, a new engine room, a high-capacity flare and a 13,500 cubic metre monolithic reinforced concrete digestate tank, described as one of the largest of its kind in Poland.
The project also includes a direct heat supply connection to a neighbouring pig farmer, who will receive up to 3,500 GJ of heat annually.
Founded in 2007, PGB operates 21 biogas plants across Poland with a combined annual output of 500 GWh of electricity and heat, representing an estimated 15% share of the Polish biogas market.
