Reference power plant Lausitz

Real-world laboratories of the energy transition funding programme

Mission

At the Schwarze Pumpe Industrial Park site, the innovative power plant concept, which utilises exclusively renewable energies such as wind power and photovoltaic systems, will demonstrate the possibilities of sector coupling. The production of green hydrogen, which enables the utilisation of renewably generated energy in the transport, industry and heating sectors, is an important step towards reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

In addition, the project of the partners Energiequelle, ENERTRAG and Zweckverband Industriepark Schwarze Pumpe will open up new value creation potential for the region and will serve as a reference for the conversion of conventional power plant sites to renewable energy generation.

Project profile
Location:  
Spree valley (Schwarze Pumpe)
Power class: 
12 MW (min. 30 MW possible)
Commissioning: 
Q1/2026
H2 quantities: 
1.000 t/a (2.500+ t/a)  
Supply concept: 
Trailer and gas grid blending from 2026, local refuelling, perspective Lausitz pipeline (H2)
"Since its foundation, ENERTRAG has seen hydrogen as an essential building block for a successful energy transition. With the RefLau, we will show that the generation of renewable electricity can be stabilised and that Lusatia can become a model region for successful structural change."
