The Rhine port steam power plant (RDK) is operated by Energie Baden-Württemberg Kraftwerke AG (EnBW; Badenwerk AG until 1997) and consists of two different types of power plant: a hard coal power plant with an output of 1351 MW[1] and a gas and steam power plant (GuD) that has been in operation since 1998 and has an output of around 365 MW.
The power plant is located on the Rhine, directly at the entrance to the Karlsruhe Rhine port, which also gave the power plant its name. The power plant consists of eight blocks, of which only two are currently in operation. The required cooling water is taken from the Rhine, and at the same time the hard coal is delivered by inland waterway vessel across the river.

Three signs at the entrance provide information about the power plant and the new RDK8 power plant block.

What can I say: not pretty, but it's a must.
Interesting subjects for architectural photographers, nonetheless.
