Background
This project originated as the redevelopment of the former Leipheim Airbase with a power plant. The capacity was up to 1200 MW.[10] It was developed by SWU Stadtwerke Ulm, and evolved into a 600 MW plant.[11] In February of 2021 Lausitz Energie (LEAG) obtained 100% interest in the project, now 300 MW.[12] Siemens Energy, who will handle construction, also note that the turbine is capable of using hydrogen as part of its mix of fuels.[13][14]
