Quick facts: In Jul 2005, the modern plant at Frimmersdorf celebrated its 50th anniversary. The power station has been
the site of several engineering firsts, including the first tower boiler
for lignite and the first large-scale FGD system for a lignite-fired power
plant. In 1964, capacity reached 2,000 MW making it the largest power
plant in the world. A precursor 26-MW plant was built at Frimmersdorf in 1926, but only a
few ancillary facilities remain of this old power plant on the western outskirts of Frimmersdorf
town.

Fuel: brown coal
Boiler supplier: EVT
T/G supplier: BBC, Siemens
Quick facts: In 1914, the first power plant went online
at this site named after RWE engineer Bernhard Goldenberg. Goldenberg was
one of the first large-scale German power plants and was developed and
expanded into the 1950s. New federal emission control laws could not be
economically met and the remaining boilers were taken out of operation in
1993. However, in order to fulfill the long-term heat and power
obligations in the area, two new CFB boilers were completed in 1992/93.
