Nuon Magnum
Nuon is investing in the future and is developing a new power plant, Nuon Magnum. The power plant is based on gasification technology and can generate electricity from gas, coal and biomass. This power plant, built for the future, combines sustainability with production capacity.
Multi-fuel concept
Nuon Magnum is based on the so-called multi-fuel concept. This is an efficient electricity plant based on a wide range of fuels such as natural gas, coal and biomass. Important is the use of gasification technology. With the multi-fuel concept, Nuon offers the best solution for generating as clean as possible electricity flexibly and efficiently. Another advantage of this concept is the large-scale production capacity.
Why a new power plant?
By developing Nuon Magnum, Nuon responds to the rising demand for energy. The power plant has a production capacity of approximately 1.200 megawatts. Enough to provide electricity to two million households. In addition, it contributes to making energy supply more sustainable.
Phased construction
All required permits for the construction of the power plant have been obtained. Nuon has split the development of the multi-fuel plant into two fases. Nuon Magnum phase 1 is the natural gas-fired part. Phase 2 entails investments in coal and biomass gasification technology.
Location
Eemshaven, in the province of Groningen, has been chosen as the site for Nuon Magnum. An ideal, spacious location with a modern seaport.
