The Bremen-Hafen power plant was built in 1957 in the industrial harbors part of the Bremen district of Häfen . It is located on the right bank of the Weser in the north of Bremen and is a conventional coal-fired power station . The power plant is operated by swb Generation AG & Co. KG . The Bremen medium-caloric power plant was also put into operation on the premises in 2009 , the steam cycle of which is integrated into the steam network of the Hafen power plant.
history
In 1957, the coal-fired power plant was built with two power plant blocks. The reason for this was the increasing demand for electricity at what was then Klöckner Hütte (now ArcelorMittal ). The two power plant blocks are given a load-dependent control to absorb brief load surges from the steelworks.
Two more blocks followed in 1962 and 1964.
In 1968 the 140 MW unit 5 and 1979 unit 6 were added. Block 6 has a 256 meter high chimney, which is the tallest structure in Bremen.
Today, both blocks have 416 megawatts of electrical and 56 megawatts of thermal output .
The CHP plant produced by cogeneration both electricity and district heating for the west of Bremen.
On November 4, 2011, the supervisory boards of swb AG and its majority shareholder EWE AG decided in two extraordinary meetings to provide 47 million euros for a so-called retrofit of block 6. Due to the work carried out from August to October 2013, the term of the block has been extended to 2025. In addition, the efficiency increased by 2.5 percent and its output by 22 to 300 megawatts net. The increase in energy efficiency also leads to a reduction in the specific CO 2 load per generated kilowatt hour. Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen Bremen criticized in a press release that in times of the energy turnaround one is holding onto power plants with fossil fuels for additional years and that modernization ties up financial means that could be used to expand renewable energy sources.
At the beginning of 2014, Block 5 was transferred to the cold reserve.
