History
The first power plant on the site was built in 1960, with a second unit following in 1971. The plant produced about 2 billion kWh of electricity per year. The units are equipped with one of boilers being supplied mainly with coal and it's by-products. It was licensed to incinerate animal meal, sewage sludge and other alternative fuels.
The plant closed down a few years ago and should be dismantled in the coming years.
Exploration
We arrived at the back of the site and noticed the presence of many cameras. At first we tried to go discreetly, but we realized that anyway we would have no choice but to pass in front of the cams and hope that nobody was watching them.
We quickly found an access and we found ourselves in the boiler house. The building was in total darkness except for a few lights that were left on.
After exploring the boilers made our way to the turbine hall. We were pleasantly surprised to find beautiful green AEG and BBC turbines in an unusualy IKEA colored hall. The control room was a modern one with only compluter screens everywhere in the complete darkness, so not very interesting.
Bonus: Looks like someone hid his bottles in a boiler XD
