Background

As of November 2021, the plant does not appear to be on Vattenfall's power plant listing.[3] "GT 6" is listed as finally shut down on the June 2021 "Power plant shutdown list".[4] In its 2020 Investment Plan, Vattenfall mentions "new gas turbines with heat recovery boilers in Berlin Charlottenburg (160 MW heat)."[5]
