Belgium Dieselfarm Powerplant (September/2019)

[ForgottenBuildings]

History
The history of this power plant started in 1977 and ran on diesel powered turbines. After 10 years this plant was already not that profitable anymore so it became a back up power station for when there was a shortage of electricity in the region. This went on for a couple years until 2011, this was the moment when this facility was closed down

Looks exactly the same compared to when I went 2 and a half years ago! A nice little selection of photos there and a good video. Cheers for sharing
