Połaniec Power Station is a coal-fired power station near Połaniec in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, Poland. It consists of 8 units each with a generation capacity of 225 MW. The power station went into service between 1979 and 1983. Originally these units had a generation capacity of 200 MW, but after turbine modernization between 1992 and 1995, it grew up to its actual value.
The power station has two flue gas stacks, which also carry telecommunication antennas and which are both 250 metres (820 ft) tall. An interesting feature of the facility is that the outgoing powerlines cross the building of the power station on rooftop pylons.
