Berlin-Reuter power station is a 124 MW coal-fired power plant located in Berlin, Germany, operated by Vattenfall Europe AG since its commissioning in 1969. The facility generates electricity from coal, contributing to Germany's thermal power generation capacity. It is the 70th largest coal plant in Germany. With 124 MW, it represents 0.2% of the country's total coal capacity of 60,532 MW. Germany has 111 coal plants with a combined capacity of 60,532 MW. Compared to the country's largest coal plant, Niederaussem power station at 3,430 MW, this facility is approximately 1/28th the size. Coal remains a significant part of Germany's energy mix, providing a substantial portion of the country's electricity generation. The Berlin-Reuter power station utilizes hard coal, which is part of Germany's strategy to balance energy sources amid a transition to renewables. The facility is located in the northeastern part of the country, approximately 10 km southwest of the city center.
