Vattenfall Europe Generation - Power Plant Lippendorf
  Worlds largest brown coal plant

The Lippendorf base-load power plant is located in the Free State of Saxony, about 15 kilometres south of Leipzig, the City of fairs. As early as in 1969 and 1971, power plant facilities for generating electricity from lignite were built in Thierbach nearby. As retrofitting with up-to-date environmental technology was not possible due to technical and economic reasons, two newly built units were started up in Lippendorf. With a net efficiency of approx. 43 percent, Lippendorf power station is presently one of the most up-to-date plants generating power from lignite worldwide.
