OSTROLEKA, Poland, June 25 (Reuters) - Polish state-run
refiner PKN Orlen  PKN.WA  will build a gas-fuelled power plant
in Ostroleka by 2025, with CAPEX seen at 2.5 billion zlotys
($661.55 million), the company's Chief Executive Daniel Obajtek
said on Friday.
    Poland had initially planned the power plant in north-east
Poland to be fuelled by coal, but surging carbon emission costs
forced the companies behind the project to change the fuel.
