The Franken I power plant in Nuremberg - Gebersdorf went into operation in 1913. Its task was to supply large parts of Central Franconia with electrical energy and to replace the existing, decentralized power plants such as the Tullnau power plant in Nuremberg.
Today it can contribute to meeting electricity needs with a gross output of 843 megawatts . Units 1 and 2 of the power plant , each 83 meters high, currently in operation, were completed in 1973 and 1976. They are operated with natural gas and, if necessary, with light heating oil . Since the prices for both energy sources are high, Franken I is only used as a peak and reserve power plant. In recent years, the boilers have been converted to low-nitrogen combustion. The heavy heating oil that was previously used as a substitute has now been replaced by low-sulfur, light heating oil. The grid connection is made via the switchgear on the 110 kV high-voltage level in the power grid of the distribution network operator bayernwerk . The Franken I power plant also supplies the city of Nuremberg with district heating .
On May 14, 2012, E.ON announced that it would close several power plants in southern Germany by 2014, including Franconia 1. However, the requested closure was prohibited in 2013 by the Federal Network Agency, which classifies Franconia I together with other gas-fired power plants as systemically relevant because they have to compensate for bottlenecks in renewable energies despite low utilization rates.
Data
The power plant provides the public electricity supply. Natural gas, EL heating oil and propane are used as fuels. The following power plant units are operated:
- Unit 1 with 944 MWth or 383 MWel
- Block 2 Kombi with 1080 MWth or 440 MWel
- Auxiliary boiler with a total of 46.5 MWth
Heating oil EL is stored in 3 tanks with a maximum total amount of 24,200 tons.
The last on-site inspection of the operating area was carried out by the government of Middle Franconia on November 29, 2018. The result of the on-site inspection is available on the website of the government of Middle Franconia.
