The CharlottenburgCombined Heat and Power Plant is one of the oldest power plant sites in Berlin. Energy production at the site started as early as in 1900. Today, a gas-fired power plant unit with three gas turbines, installed in an eye-catching orange building block is still in operation. This peak load CHP plant has been operated by Vattenfall since 2003 and has an electrical output of 215 MW and a thermal output of 295 MW.

The plant is mainly deployed for peak load operation. VPC supports the annual inspection/ overhaul work and lifetime extending measures. Damage appraisals and the addressing of operating issues are also part of the scope of services.
