Quick facts: This power station is on the bank of the Sado Estuary east of Setubal town about 40km south of Lisbon. The plant uses low-sulfur HFO and, in 1994, Units 3&4 were modified to burn orimulsion. Waste heat from the station is used in a horticulture project to re-vegetate Parc National da Arrabida which was damaged by quarrying.
