Gas fired power plant
Integrated systems for local power and hydrogen generation, linking gas turbines, renewables, and digital hubs to drive a stable, low-carbon energy future.
Project overview
The gas-fired power plant at Jade Energy will supply reliable and flexible electricity
Designed to operate as a peaker, combined-cycle (CCGT) baseload unit, or a dedicated behind-the-meter source, it will have a capacity of up to 900 MW. The plant will provide electricity directly to the LNG terminal, CO₂ export terminal, data center, and future hydrogen facilities through private on-site connections, avoiding grid levies and improving efficiency across the site. It will also connect to the public grid through the new 2–4 GW TenneT 380 kV substation planned at Wilhelmshaven, which is expected to be operational between 2030 and 2032, aligning with the plant’s commissioning timeline.
Over time, the facility will transition from natural gas to e-NG or hydrogen, ensuring long-term compatibility with Germany’s decarbonization goals.
The plant’s integration within the Jade Energy ecosystem will unlock further operational synergies: cold energy from the LNG terminal will improve plant efficiency by roughly 3–5%, while waste heat from power generation will be reused across the site for LNG regasification, hydrogen production processes, and the data center’s thermal balance. CO₂ emissions from the plant will be captured and transported to the on-site CO₂ export terminal for treatment and safe storage or reuse, positioning the facility as a key low-carbon power source for the site.
Located on 25–40 hectares of coastal land with direct seawater access for cooling, the project is covered under Wilhelmshaven’s B-plan for land use and umbrella BImSchG permitting process for emissions.
