Background on Plant
The Borsod power station was a 137 MW power station established in the northeast of Hungary in the early 1950s that fired local brown coal. The plant changed in the 1990s to use imported coal, mainly from Russia, and also biomass, to meet pollution regulations. Owner AES Borsodi Energetikai, the Hungarian arm of U.S. power company AES Corporation, stopped power production at the plant in 2011, which at the time ran mainly on biomass.[1]
Proposed plant
AES has planned to develop a new coal fired power station at the location, comprising two 165 MW coal-fired units. 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.[2]
