The Weisweiler power plant is a coal-fired power plant owned by RWE Power AG in Eschweiler-Weisweiler. It is fired with lignite, which is mined by the operator from the Inden opencast mine, and serves as base load. Between 2012 and 2014, the power plant generated an average annual output of 15.3 TWh of electricity, burning an average of 18.4 million tons of lignite each year.[1] The planned shutdown will take place in blocks from 2012 to 2029.
