For many years Moorburg was the site of a gas-fired power plant operated by Hamburgische Electricitäts-Werke, and Vattenfall had been operating a coal -fired power plant here since 2015. The operations were terminated after the power plant won a bid in the auction for the nationwide coal phase-out in December 2020.
