Vattenfall inaugurates new heat and power plant and halves CO\2\ emissions in Berlin
Vattenfall today inaugurated a new heat and power plant in Marzahn in Berlin. The highly efficient gas-fired plant will supply electricity and district heating in the eastern parts of the German capital and is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 240,000 tonnes per year.The Marzahn heat and power plant contributes to Vattenfall more than fulfilling its agreement with the Federal State of Berlin that was signed in 2009. According to the agreement, Vattenfall would halve carbon dioxide emissions until 2020, compared to 1990. This target was reached already in 2017.
