FRANKFURT: The first of two blocks at Vattenfall's new Moorburg coal-fired power station near Hamburg started up commercial power production, marking the end of seven years of political wrangling over the project.
Block B with half the capacity was fully connected to the transmission grid on Saturday, Vattenfall said in a statement.
Vattenfall in 2010 agreed to certain measures which will cut the profitability of the project to assuage environmental concerns as Germany focuses on renewable energy as the preferred source of power generation.
