Background
In 2019 Uniper announced plans to build unit 6, a 300 MW open cycle gas-fired unit.[10] In August of 2019 Ansaldo Energia announced they were awarded the EPC contract.[11]
As of November 2021, Uniper states that Unit 3 has been kept in reserve capacity since 2012 and its final shutdown is scheduled for December 31, 2023.[12] Units 4 and 5 are also operating only in a reserve function.[12]
As of November 2021, Uniper expected to put Unit 6 into operation by October 2022.[13] The gas turbine and transformer have been on site since May 20, 2021, but have not been assembled. Unit 6 will also serve as "besonderes netztechnisches Betriebsmittel" (in a reserve capacity).[13]
