> List of New Power Plants in Europe: Update October 2012 < The list New Power Plants comprises power plants in planning and under construction in Europe. Energy sources like gas, hard coal, lignite, wind, water, waste etc. are considered. Based on the list, the planned total output (MW) and the portions of the sources of energy (MW) can be determined. Due to political and economic decisions, the list lives with further planning measures and with cancellations. The current list is available in the member area for download:

3) VGB-TW103Ae "Analysis of Unavailability of Thermal Power Plants"

The Technical-scientific Report "Analysis of Unavailability of Thermal Power Plants" for the operation decade 2002-2011 (pdf file) is available in the English and German languages. The report provides information about weak points of equipment and power plant systems. VGB is analysing the annual unavailability (UA analysis) in order to identify the root causes, i.e. those systems causing unavailability, to be able to upgrade such weak equipment. The systems and equipment to be analysed are specified according to the KKS power plant identification system. Receive free of charge an outline of the report via e-mail:
