About

Built in 1904-1905, Kraków's Municipal Power Station was originally part of the city's gas utility: the very enterprise which long fought to keep the city closed to the competing electric power. Originally, the power plant operated two direct current generator units powered by combustion engines. An imported rotary phase converter allowed the production of three-phase alternating current from 1906. Further expansion soon permitted the electrification of the city: the city's first electric street lighting was installed in the area enclosed by the Planty garden ring in 1913. In 1976, the power plant was converted into a heating plant and operated as such till 1984. The original design of the municipal power station is preserved: the administration building, 1904-1914 machine rooms, control and switch rooms, and – deeper within the premises – boiler rooms, workshops, and remnants of the cold store.
