{{#badges:CoalSwarm}} The The Borsod power station was a 137 MWe power station established in the northeast of Hungary in the early 1950s that fired local brown coal. The plant later changed to use imported coal, mainly from Russia, and also biomass, to meet pollution regulations.

Owner AES planned to develop a new coal fired power plant, comprising two 165 MWe coal-fired units alongside the existing Borsod Power Plant. Mott MacDonald (MM) was contracted by AES to generate a conceptual plan for the new plant, which would use a blend of local brown coal and imported black coal, and have biomass firing capabilities.[1]
