Background
The 116 MW subcritical coal plant powers the Krefeld-Uerdingen chemical plant, owned by Bayer and LANXESS.
Proposed 1,200 MW CCGT
An expansion was proposed by Trianel to have an installed capacity of 750 megawatts with a notional commissioning date of 2012. The April 2008 edition of Power in Europe reported that in March 2007 the Krefeld council steering committee advised "against a coal plant, urging a switch to CCGT". However, it reported that the proposal had "strong backing from 27 municipals who are participating" and that "NRW economy ministry backs coal project too."[5]
The Royal Bank of Scotland has been appointed as financial advisor for the project.[6] The coal power will be used by chemical producers including include Bayer, Lanxess and Tronox.[7]
According to Deutsche Umwelthilfe, the project was abandoned in July 2011 due to local resistance and economic problems. Instead, a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) was planned.[8]
The CCGT project was planned for commissioning in 2020.[9] Discussions with project partners were ongoing in 2019.[10] However as of 2021 construction has not begun. It is not listed on the Bundesnetzagentur power plant list for the expected expansion and dismantling from 2021 to 2023.[11] It was reportedly cancelled in 2021.[12]
