The power plant, managed by EnBW, uses coal, gas and steam power to generate energy. The power plant has a total of 8 blocks, but not all of them are in operation.

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 8 blocks, of which only 2 are currently in operation. The required cooling water is taken from the Rhine, while the hard coal is delivered by inland waterway vessel across the river.

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