Background
Bakony power station's two coal-fired units were commissioned in 1957.[7]
In December 2017, Veolia Energy Hungary acquired the majority shareholding of the power plant's owner, Bakonyi Erőmű Zrt. The plant produces electricity, district heat, and industrial steam.[8][9]
As of 2018, the power station was primarily fueled with biomass but also burned coal "to a lesser extent."[8] In January 2018, Veolia reportedly stated that they were aiming for the power station to be "fueled with the highest portion of biomass possible"[10] and wanted to reduce coal usage.[9]
