The Ostrołęka Power Station (Polish: Elektrownia Ostrołęka) is a coal-fired thermal power station in Ostrołęka, Poland. It is owned by Energa.[1]

The power station consists of two parts. The Ostrołęka A combined heat and power plant with installed capacity of 93 MW electricity and 456 MW heat was built in 1956. The Ostrołęka B power station was built in 1972. It consists of three units with combined installed capacity of 647 MW.[1]
