Background
In 1914, the first power plant went online at this site named after RWE engineer Bernhard Goldenberg. Goldenberg was one of the first large-scale German power plants and was developed and expanded into the 1950s. The boilers were taken out of operation in 1993 due to new federal emission control laws. However, two new CFB boilers were completed in 1992-93.[2]
In 2014 plant owner RWE said it may retire the coal plant in 2015.[3]
Block F (95 MW) was retired in 2015, leaving only the 76 MW Block E.[4]
