Esbjerg Power Station is a coal-fired power station at Esbjerg, Denmark. The power station has a generation capacity of 378 MW. It is operated by Ørsted. Its chimney is with a height of 250.24 metres (821.0 ft) the tallest chimney in Scandinavia. In 2004 a facility for removing NOx was added to the plant.
Esbjerg Power Station produces 2,405 GWh and 2,559 TJ heat per year and has approximately 100 employees.
In October 2022, due to energy security concerns in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Danish authorities ordered Ørsted to extend the life of the plant's Unit 3. The company said that they remain committed to their goal of reaching carbon neutrality by 2025. [1][2]
