The Herrenhausen power plant is a gas-fired power plant in the Hanover district of Leinhausen , which is operated by Stadtwerke Hannover .
history
In 1900 the city of Hanover decided to build a new power plant. The three-phase power plant near the Leinhausen train station went into operation in 1902. It was expanded for the first time in 1907. After this expansion, more cooling water was required, which from 1912 could be taken from the Leine ; In parallel with the construction of the power station, workers' houses were built on Elbestrasse from 1913 onwards.
From 1950 the plant was heavily modernized and in 1991 it was converted into a gas-fired thermal power station. In 1976 the tower - a 100 MW block - was built for district heating . Of the six chimneys of the former coal-fired power plant , only the bases are left. Today's gas-fired power plant is the neighboring block B, which is noticeable due to its cylindrical design. For a while it housed a fuel cell with an output of a few kilowatts, the research project has now been terminated.
The regenerative generation systems in the Stadtwerke network area are controlled from the control room of the Herrenhausen power plant: Leine hydropower plant Herrenhausen, hydropower plant Schneller Graben , biogas processing plant Ronnenberg, landfill gas utilization plant Hannover-Lahe, wind power plant Kronsberg as well as several photovoltaic systems.
In May 2014 the disused boiler hall of the power plant was used for a theater event.
The press reported in January 2014 that the power plant should be shut down in early 2015. The operator's website announced in August 2015 that electricity generation would be shut down for the beginning of 2016, but district heating generation (Block B) should remain in operation.
Stadtwerke Hannover intend to build a battery storage power plant on the site of the power plant with their cooperation partner Accumotive - a subsidiary of Daimler AG .
