Overview

• Commissioning of the Energiepark Hafen’s gas-and-steam unit is now planned for autumn 2026, according to Hamburger Energiewerke and the environment authority.
• The coal-fired Wedel heating plant will remain online until the end of 2026 instead of April 2026 to secure district heat supply.
• Construction is about 85% complete, and the operator is adding roughly 100 fitters and more shifts, bringing on-site staffing to about 950.
• The general contractor notified the delay tied to extensive extra welding on small pipelines, with responsibility for the €74 million in additional costs still under review.
• The project is designed to supply around 180,000 dwellings using multiple heat sources, with a KWK unit of roughly 290 MW thermal and 180 MW electrical and a 7.6 km tunnel to the existing network.
