Background
The Puertollano power plant was commissioned in 1972 and constructed by the company Sevillana de Electricidad in Ciudad Real.[6] In 1994, Sevillana de Electricidad sold the Puertollano plant to Endesa, who transferred it to its subsidiary Viesgo Generación. Viesgo, in turn, acquired by the Italian company Enel in 2002, which took over the plant. In 2008, energy company E.ON acquired Viesgo from Enel, thus acquiring Puertollano.[7] The plant sourced coal from adjacent coal mines operated by Encasur and was built to take advantage of the Puertollano mining basin.[7][8]
In 2008, the plant emitted 265,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide.[8]
In September 2012, E.ON announced its intention to sell the plant in October 2013.[8] After E.ON suspended the plant's operations, the General Directorate of Energy Policy and Mines formally authorized its closure on April 19, 2014 (the resolution, however, was made November 29, 2013).[7][9]
In November 2015, most of the plant was demolished.[7]
Employment
In 2012, the power station reportedly employed 72 workers.[7]
