Niederaussem Power Station
Lignite station whose BoA unit set efficiency records for brown coal.
Overview
The 2002 BoA unit K reached about 43 percent efficiency, then a world best for lignite, beneath a 200 m cooling tower. Niederaussem anchored Rhineland brown coal generation alongside Neurath. German lignite phaseout politics keep it in the news.
