The Kozienice Power Station is a coal-fired thermal power station in Świerże Górne near Kozienice, Poland. It is Poland's second largest power station with an installed capacity of 4,016 MW.{{Cite web|url=https://www.enea.pl/pl/grupaenea/o-grupie/spolki-grupy-enea/wytwarzanie/o-spolce|title = Enea Wytwarzanie - Informacje o spółce|date = 9 September 2015}}

The power station has one {{convert|300|m|adj=on}} high flue gas stack, which is one of Poland's tallest free standing structures, and two {{convert|200|m|adj=on}} high flue gas stacks. A further remarkable feature of it is that the powerlines running away from its switchyard are built as a roofstand on the top of the power station building. On 4 December 2013 four workers died in a fall, as a result of a platform failure within one of the chimneys.[http://www.thenews.pl/1/9/Artykul/155015,Four-killed-in-power-plant-accident News article from an English language news service][http://www.powerengineeringint.com/articles/2013/12/tragedy-at-kozienice-coal-fired-power-plant.html Power Engineering International news article]
