"Black Start" Power Plant, Belgium - Part 1: Diesel generator hall Built in the 1970s, this Belgian facility houses eight ACEC generators capable of producing over 80 megawatts. It was demolished a few years ago. As a "black start" station, it is designed to restore the power grid during a total blackout. These diesel units use on-site batteries to start the system, and bring high-voltage stations back online. #Belgium #Energy #History #Abandoned #Demolished #Powerplant #Diesel #Photography

Thanks! I always research and read up on the locations I photograph, so I am able to write up my accompanying articles. It is fun to learn new things, and to share them ☺️
