For around 100 years, the Farge power plant provided a reliable energy supply. Commissioned for the first time in 1924, the power plant with a net capacity of 350 megawatts set standards in terms of innovation and sustainability right up to the end following numerous conversion and expansion measures.
In accordance with the phase-out path defined by the German government, coal-fired power generation at the Farge site was finally discontinued on 31 March 2024. The plant is in the so-called dry-out phase until the end of 2025. In addition to shutting down the plant, this includes emptying various systems and safely removing residual materials. After that, it is conceivable that the site, which is in an outstanding geographical location, could be used for hydrogen production, among other things.
Onyx Power continues to maintain an office in the north of Bremen with around 25 employees.
