Turów Coal Mine

Gmina Bogatynia, Poland · built 1904

The Turów coal mine (Kopalnia Węgla Brunatnego Turów S.A) or KWB Turów, is a large open pit mine in the southwest of Poland, located outside Bogatynia, Lower Silesia. It feeds the nearby Turów Power Station. In March 2024 a Warsaw court found the EIA for mining from 2026 to be invalid, but the owner is appealing. Unlike the other coal-dependent parts of Poland, a just transition for coal phase-out has not yet been planned as of 2024.
