Lausward power station is a 826-megawatt (MW) gas-fired power plant in the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
Location

Background
Lausward power station originally consisted of five blocks, blocks A-E, commissioned from 1957 to 1977. In 1998, the first three blocks A-C were shut down and replaced by two gas turbines. The remaining two blocks are coal-fired; Unit D is 150 MW and Unit E 300 MW. The plant is owned by Stadtwerke Düsseldorf AG of EnBW AG.[1]
The coal-fired power station was demolished in 2013 to make way for construction of the gas plant. The 595 MW Lausward gas-fired power plant, named Block Fortuna, replaced the old coal-fired plant and is a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT). It entered service in 2016.[2]
A 400 MW coal plant was proposed at the power station. Power in Europe newsletter reported in 2008 that Stadtwerke Dusseldorf was considering a 400 megawatt unit with a notional commissioning date of 2012. The newsletter describes the status of the project as "pre-proposal". It reports that SWB planned to make a final decision on the project in "late 07/early 08" and that it would "reduce emissions by 27% compared with old coal units at the site." [3]
As of July 2009, the city utility had put off plans for the new coal-fired unit, citing environmental concerns and local opposition to coal pollution. It was reported in October 2012 that the plant would be designed as a single-shaft plant with natural gas powered turbine.[4]
In 2016, the latest unit (Block F) was completed, supplying combined heat-and-power of 595 MW through a gas-fired combined cycle turbine.[5] The plant uses an SGT5-8000H turbine, which is also capable of using up to 30% hydrogen in its mix of fuels.[6]
