Acquired in November 2006, Elsterwerda is a waste wood-fuelled CHP plant, supplied via contracts with the fuel processing industry. The generated heat is supplied to the public utility in Elsterwerda, Stadtwerk Elsterwerda GmbH. The steam turbine generates a maximum electricity output of 12 MW, which is fed into the public power grid.
