Background

The power station consisted of three coal-burning units: 137 MW (unit 1), 305 MW (unit 2), 411 MW (unit 3), commissioned from 1977 to 1998. Unit 1 has been retired. Unit 2 was taken offline in 2014.

District heating company Aalborg Forsyning took over Nordjylland Power station from Vattenfall as of 31 December 2015 for US$124 million.

Plant owner Aalborg Forsyning said that the company will stop burning coal in 2028.
