Timelkam Gas Power Plant: 400 MW Facility in Austria

Timelkam is a gas-fired power plant located in Austria, operated by Energie AG Oberösterreich. With a capacity of 400 MW, it is a medium-to-large scale facility within the Austrian power generation sector, contributing to the country's energy mix. The plant operates under the EU Industrial Emissions Directive (2010/75/EU) and complies with Best Available Techniques (BAT) for large combustion plants. As a gas-fired facility, it benefits from lower CO2 emissions compared to coal plants, aligning with Austria's transition towards cleaner energy sources. Timelkam provides essential grid stability and peak-load support, serving the regional demand in Upper Austria. Its operational status ensures reliable electricity supply, while its gas-fired technology offers flexibility to complement renewable energy sources like hydro and wind.

The plant's gas-fired technology results in lower CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions compared to coal, but still contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Its location in Austria, a country with stringent EU environmental regulations, ensures compliance with emission limits. The facility's capacity of 400 MW places it in a moderate scale, with potential local air quality impacts mitigated by modern combustion controls.
