{{#badges: CoalSwarm|Navbar-Germanyandcoal}} '''Lausward Power Stationpower station''' was a 400 450-megawatt (MW) power station proposed for in Lausward , Germany. It was closed in 2013, and is being replaced with a 595 MW gas plant, known as Block Fortuna. A new coal plant had been considered but rejected in favor of the new gas plant. ==Location==The undated satellite below shows the plant near Dusseldorf harbour in Germany.{{#display_point:54.338671, 10.176991|width=600|height=600|type=hybrid|zoom=16}}
==Background==
The coal-fired power station was demolished in 2012 to make way for construction of the gas plant. The 595 MW Lausward gas-fired power plant, named Block Fortuna, will replace the old coal-fired plant and will be a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT). It is scheduled to enter service in 2016.<ref>[http://meconstructionnews.com/story/4798/site-visit-siemens-gas-power-plant-germany "Site visit: Siemens gas power plant, Germany,"] ME Construction News, 25 Jul 2015</ref> ==Proposed coal plant==A 400 MW coal plant was proposed at the power station.

As of July 2009, the city utility had put off plans for the new coal-fired unit, citing environmental concerns and local opposition to coal pollution. It was reported in October 2012 that the plant would be designed as a single-shaft plant with natural gas powered turbine.<Ref>[http://www.pennenergy.com/index/power/display/7905454453/articles/pennenergy/power/gas/2012/july/siemens-to_build_595.html "Siemens to build 595 MW combined cycle gas-fired power plant in Germany"] Siemens, July 2, 2012.</ref>
