Production of heat and electricity

The plant delivers 90% of the remote generated heat in Ljubljana.^{[citation needed]} About 74% of Ljubljana households use district heating.^[1]

Operating units

The power station consists of three units, which went in service in 1966, 1967, and 1984, and generate 42 MW, 32 MW, and 50 MW of electric power (94 MW, 94 MW, and 152 MW of heat, respectively). The 101 metre tall chimney at 46°3′28.9″N 14°32′40.9″E has a gallery that resembles an observation deck. However, it contains equipment for exhaust monitoring.

Fuel

The Ljubljana Power Station uses coal procured from Indonesia and 15% biomass, about 100,000 tons of woodchips per year.^[1] In the past, coal was supplied from Slovenian Central Sava Valley coal mines; however, Indonesian coal is cheaper and contains less sulfur.
