<p>[quote user="zardoz"]This kinda surprised me, as I didn't think the plant was that old (read: inefficient).[/quote]</p> <p>Unit 1 was commisioned in 1980 and unit 2 in 1985. So they are quite old compared to the average lifespan of coal power plants of approximately 40 years.</p> <p>The efficiency of a coal ower plant was about 32-38% in the 1980s. In 2015 a coal power plant with 47% efficiency was commisioned in The Netherlands.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
