Energy Hub Maasvlakte
MPP3
Our MPP3 power plant is strategically located on the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam, an area known for its extensive industrial activities and home to one of the largest ports in the world.
This location offers a unique combination of access to sea routes, a connection to the high-voltage grid, and proximity to infrastructure for the future hydrogen pipeline.
The MPP3 power plant plays a crucial role in the Dutch energy supply, generating up to 7% of the total electricity demand.
It is also home to various gas-fired production facilities and a large hybrid battery. In the coming years, we are developing green hydrogen and biofuels here as sustainable alternatives.
UCML
This natural gas power plant by Uniper contributes to the stability of the energy grid by supplying both electricity and steam. The net electrical capacity is 70 MW, and the steam production is 660 t/h.
Our UCML plant was commissioned in 2003. This facility plays an important role in the transition to sustainable energy sources and supports Uniper's ambition to become fully carbon-neutral by 2040.
Together with MPP3, the UCML demonstrates the transition from traditional to greener energy generation. The Maasvlakte Energy Hub is evolving into a pioneering center for green hydrogen and biofuels.
About energy production
With a capacity of 1,070 MW, the MPP3 power plant operates on a mix of coal, biomass, and residual flows from the surrounding industry. Here, we produce both electricity and steam.
