Avedøre Power Station is a 500MW facility owned and operated by Energie E2, a Danish firm and Vattenfall, a Swedish firm.  All the power generated is utilised in the immediate København area, and any excess is sold to the Norway, Sweden or German grids on a stock exchange like arrangement.  There are two plants here, one coal fired (the most efficient in the world so they love telling me), and a biomass one, (where they burn straw and wood pellets made especially for power generation).

The coal fired plant.  My office is in the smaller building, exactly where the window is slightly open...

Apparently the largest water storage tanks in the world.  These tanks are highly insulated, and are full of hot water which is pumped into København for household heating.
