Is located at Schkopau/Germany and operates the Schkopau Power Plant with a net installed capacity of 900 MW.
The Schkopau Plant burns lignite from the central German field and supplies electricity to the 380 kV grid and to the 110 kV grid of Deutsche Bahn and also supplies power and steam to the chemical factories of Buna Sow Leuna Olefinverbund GmbH (BSL).
