The Berlin-Rudow thermal power station was a thermal power station operated from 1963 to 2004 based on the principle of cogeneration in the Rudow district of Berlin . It was on the southern bank of the Teltow Canal .
The client was Bewag . The coal-fired power station had an electrical output of 175 MW and a thermal output of 130 MW. It had a siding to the Neukölln-Mittenwalder Railway , which was used to deliver up to 1,200 tons of hard coal a day. In 1988 a second siding was built to supply the flue gas desulphurisation system with limestone powder and to remove the gypsum that resulted from it .
By May 1, 2003, the power plant had supplied around 20,000 apartments in Gropiusstadt with heat. It then served as a cold reserve for the Berlin district heating supply . At the beginning of 2006, the power plant was sold by Vattenfall , Bewag's legal successor, to a dismantling company. This marketed intact parts of the power plant and demolished the rest. Two attempts to blow up the machine house in March 2007 failed and damaged the surrounding single-family houses. Finally, on May 3, 2007, the flue gas desulphurisation, the flue gas denitrification system and the 100 meter high reinforced concrete chimney were successfully blown up in the third attempt. The demolition work was completed in 2008. In the same year, the Berlin zoning plan was changed by providing small-scale residential use for the site.
