Kraftwerk N 230 is a 110 MW coal-fired power plant located in Germany, operated by Currenta GmbH & Co. OHG since its commissioning in 1971. The plant generates electricity using coal as fuel, contributing to Germany's thermal power generation. In the context of Germany's coal power plants, Kraftwerk N 230 ranks as the 74th largest facility. With a capacity of 110 MW, it represents 0.18% of Germany's total coal capacity of 60,532 MW. Germany has 111 coal plants with a combined capacity of 60,532 MW. Compared to the largest coal plant, the Niederaussem power station at 3,430 MW, Kraftwerk N 230 is about one-thirtieth the size. Coal continues to be a significant part of Germany's energy mix, accounting for approximately 35% of the country's electricity generation. The country's reliance on coal has been decreasing due to environmental policies, but it still plays a key role in energy production. Kraftwerk N 230 is situated in North Rhine-Westphalia, approximately 60 km from Düsseldorf.
