The **Adamów brown coal mine** ([Polish](/source/Polish_language): *Kopalnia Węgla Brunatnego „Adamów”*) was a large open-pit mine in [Turek](/source/Turek%2C_Poland), [Greater Poland Voivodeship](/source/Greater_Poland_Voivodeship), central [Poland](/source/Poland), 208 km west of the capital, [Warsaw](/source/Warsaw). At the time of its commissioning Adamów held one of the largest [lignite](/source/Lignite) reserves in [Poland](/source/Poland), estimated to be 90 million tonnes of [coal](/source/Coal).[1] The annual coal production was around 1.6 million tonnes.

In August 2020 the management announced that the mine will be closed by the end of the year.[2] Because there was still some coal left, the management decided to continue operations and the last excavator was permanently turned off at 4:50 pm on 17 February 2021. There are plans to install a [photovoltaic array](/source/Photovoltaic_system) on the site.[3]
