| Unit name | Status | Fuel(s) | Capacity (MW) | Technology | CHP | Start year | Retired year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unit 1, timepoint 1 | Retired | coal: lignite | 53 | unknown | yes[1] | 1996 | 2019 |
| Unit 1, timepoint 2 | Operating[2] | fossil gas: natural gas[1][3] | 53[1][3] | steam turbine[1] | yes[1] | 2021[1] | – |
CHP is an abbreviation for Combined Heat and Power. It is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy at high efficiencies. Coal units track this information in the Captive Use section when known.

Background
Through at least 2019, the Dessau power station operated using lignite coal as a fuel.[4] However, according to the 2021 Bundesnetzagentur Kraftwerksliste, the power station now uses natural gas as its main fuel.[5]
