The Wilmersdorf thermal power station is an oil-fired thermal power station (HKW) in the Berlin district of Schmargendorf in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district . It is located south of the Ringbahn route and the parallel city motorway ( Bundesautobahn 100 ) at Forckenbeckstrasse 3-6.
history
As early as 1911, the Southwest power station, built from 1910 to designs by the architect Hans Liepe (1876–1969), was put into operation on the site. Client Elektricitätswerk the Southwest AG (shortened E-Werk Southwest AG ), which in January 1938 on the municipal utilities Bewag : (then Berlin power and light AG ) merged was. After conquering Berlin in May 1945, the Red Army dismantled the power stations in the future British sector before the British occupying forces could appear there. The historic power station, along with the administration building (civil servants' house and switching house), is protected as a monument as a whole .

Construction of the new Wilmersdorf cogeneration plant began in 1973. The client was the former municipal utility Bewag. The construction company H. Klammt AG was commissioned to build the boiler house . The thermal power plant was put into operation in 1977. The characteristic complex received an architecture award in the 1980s.
On January 2, 1992, an explosion occurred in one of the three blocks .
business
The power plant based on the principle of combined heat and power , which went into operation in 1977, belongs to the Swedish energy group Vattenfall and is operated by the subsidiary Vattenfall Europe Wärme , which belongs to the German subgroup .
The thermal power station has three blocks with gas turbines, each with an output of 110 megawatts , which are each equipped with 102 meter high chimneys . The grid connection takes place at the 110 kV high voltage level in the grid of Stromnetz Berlin GmbH (subsidiary of Vattenfall GmbH). Since the Berlin-Wilmersdorf thermal power station is not located on a body of water, it receives the necessary cooling water from a deep well.
