> List of New Power Plants in Europe: Update February 2014 <
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.
The current list is available in myVGB for download:

1) Heinrich Mandel-Prize 2014 - Call for Proposals
The VGB Research Foundation has rewarded outstanding achievements by young university graduates (age limit: 35 years) working in the field of power and heat generation with the Heinrich-Mandel Prize for more than 30 years. The prize is endowed with 10,000 Euro and is awarded annually on the occasion of the VGB Congress POWER PLANTS. The work that is to be honoured in this way can relate either to new findings in the operation of power and heat generation plants, or to important research results.
Based on the award guideline, all VGB member companies as well as the Board of Directors, and the Technical and Scientific Advisory Boards of VGB have the right to propose candidates by April 30, 2014.
