Background on Plant
Veltheim power station is a retired three-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 520 MW. It also has a 300 MW gas unit. The power station was owned 66.6% by E.ON Kraftwerke and 33.3% by Stadtwerke Bielefeld. In May 2010, Morgan Stanley Capital Group agreed to buy the 320-MW coal-fired set at Veltheim, thereby completing an asset divestiture agreement that E.ON reached with the EC. Unit-I was decommissioned in 2000 and Unit 2 in 2012.[1] Unit 3 was retired in 2015.[2]
