Heizkraftwerk Wolfsburg West

Take a look at these impressive structures. Built in 1984, the Wolfsburg West power plant supplies electricity and heat to the nearby Volkswagen factory, just 456 meters southeast. It features two identical units, each capable of producing 150 megawatts of electricity. The key feature here is cogeneration, allowing each unit to generate up to 130 megawatts of electricity and 120 megawatts of heat simultaneously. This efficient energy use is crucial for serving the city of Wolfsburg and its residents. Operated by Volkswagen Kraftwerk GmbH, the plant maximizes a total thermal capacity of 750 megawatts.
