Vilnius Combined Heat and Power Plant's capacity is 603 MW heating power and 360 MW electric power.[1] It is the most polluting electric power plant in Lithuania.[2] As a consequence, Vilnius Combined Heat and Power Plant was closed in 2016.[3] In 2016 a new waste-to-energy Vilnius Biofuel Power Plant was built next to the CHP plant.
