Power plant from the other side

The Nord Heizkraftwerk is a combined heat and power plant operated by Stadtwerke München since 1964 . It is located in the municipality of Unterföhring , northeast of the Föhringer Ring , on the city limits of Munich .

Technical specifications

The power plant consists of three blocks that are operated in cogeneration, which means that they generate electricity and district heating . Unit 2 is fired with hard coal (approx. 800,000 tons / year), in units 1 and 3 residual waste is incinerated (approx. 650,000 tons / year). This residual waste comes from the Munich waste management company , the district of Munich and other public and private suppliers. If there is additional heat demand, up to seven gas-fired boilers can be switched on (year of construction 1974: 2 × 50 tons / hour and 1 × 100 tons / hour, year of construction 1989: 4 × 25 tons / hour heating steam). The thermal power station has a maximum district heating output of 900 megawatts , the electrical output is a total of 411 megawatts. The cooling water is drawn from the nearby Mittlere-Isar-Kanal . The electrical power is divided into the individual blocks as follows:

  • Block 1: 21 MW el
  • Block 2: 363 MW el (at full load in condensation mode)
  • Block 3: 27 MW el

Block 2 is connected to the grid at the 380 kV maximum voltage level in the power grid of the distribution network operator SWM Infrastructure .

District heating supplies the entire area of ​​north-west Munich. The north and Freimann hot water networks are supplied by the HKW Nord, and steam is released into the city center steam network via a 7 km long pipeline (pressure level sliding from 3 to 5 bar with a steam mass flow of up to 720 tons / hour).

1993 received the heating plant north each year from Power Magazine award honors Power Plant Award for environmentally friendly and innovative power generation.

Referendum

In December 2015, an alliance of 40 organizations and parties launched a referendum to shut down the coal-fired power plant. On November 5, 2017, the referendum "Get out of the coal" took place. A good 118,000 people (60.4%) voted to shut down the power plant unit on December 31, 2022. The participation was 17.8%. In July 2019, however, it was reported that the Federal Network Agency is likely to veto the shutdown of the power plant in order to secure the district heating supply. It can therefore be assumed that the power plant will continue to run with reduced output until around 2026 to 2028.
