The Daimler cogeneration plant in Sindelfingen supplies the Mercedes-Benz plant in Sindelfingen with steam , electrical energy and district heating . Excess district heating is diverted to the Sindelfingen municipal utility ; there is a 30 MW district heating pipeline and a redundant steam extraction of 25 MW. The thermal power station went into operation in 1960. It was initially fueled by heavy oil and was converted to natural gas in 1986. It provides a maximum heat output of 350 MW th and, with an electrical output of 81 MW el, covers one third of the electrical energy requirements of the plant (as of 2011).
The power plant has two chimneys, 120 m and 100 m high. The former is the tallest building in the district of Böblingen and carried from 1999 to 2009 a transmitting antenna to the spread of regional television program R.TV .
In October 2013, a new gas turbine from the manufacturer Tognum with a waste heat boiler went into operation. It has 31 MW electrical and 48 MW thermal output. The project cost 41 million euros. The gas turbine is designed for 7,500 Vbh / a and will generate 230 GWh of electrical energy per year, which corresponds to an increase in plant generation of 44%.
