The Rudolf Fettweis power station is a key infrastructure asset in Germany's power generation grid, located on the continent of Europe. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing gas energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the EnBW, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Germany, Rudolf Fettweis power station occupies the #209 position among all operational gas power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Germany's total installed gas generating capacity, which currently stands at 30,906 MW. The largest operational gas installation in Germany is the Gersteinwerk with an output of 2,004 MW, making the Rudolf Fettweis power station approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of Germany's aggregate generation capacity of 151,803 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of gas power plants (modeled at 40% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Germany consumes 4 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 48.6687° latitude and 8.3531° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include Rheinhafen-Dampfkraftwerk (gas, 353 MW), Rheinkraftwerk Iffezheim (hydro, 146 MW), Stora Enso Maxau (biomass, 78 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Germany.
