The Maasvlakte power station (in Dutch Centrale Maasvlakte ) is a hard coal-fired power station in the Netherlands . It is located in Maasvlakte , a large industrial and port area that was built as an artificial island to expand the port of Rotterdam . The operator is Uniper Benelux as the successor to E.ON Benelux N.V. It has three units with a total net output of 2,179 MW.

Block 1 & 2
The first two power plant blocks on the site went into operation in 1973/1974. The net output of these units increased in 2013 after retrofitting from 535 MW each to 555 MW. Blocks 1 and 2 were closed on July 1, 2017.
Block 3
Construction work on Unit 3 with an electrical output of 1069 MW net and 1113 MW gross began in April 2008. This belongs to the same 1100 MW class as Unit 4 of the Datteln power plant and the previously planned Unit 6 of the Staudinger power plant . Because of the seawater cooling, however, it has a slightly higher efficiency of 47%. The live steam parameters are 600 ° C and 285 bar, the parameters of the reheated steam are 620 ° C and 60 bar. The system is prepared for the addition of biomass (up to 30%), heat extraction and CCS . The construction costs were estimated at € 1.6 billion in March 2014.
CCS demonstration system
Together with Engie E&P Nederland BV, which operates a neighboring power plant , a facility for CO 2 capture and storage is planned.
As part of the so-called ROAD project (for Rotterdam Carbon Capture and Storage Demonstration ), 1.1 million tonnes of captured CO 2 (corresponding to a power plant output of around 250 MW) are to be transported via a 25 km long pipeline into an exhausted natural gas field (P18-A) be transported in the North Sea. The costs are estimated at around € 400 million.
