What powers 21,000 homes? Look around you, at the Heizkraftwerk Aubrugg. This industrial giant isn’t just a striking landmark with its towering 105-meter chimney, the second tallest structure in Zurich. It’s a beacon of sustainable energy production. The Heizkraftwerk Aubrugg started its life in 1977. Designed by architect Pierre Zoelly and engineers Basler & Hofmann, it originally ran on oil and gas. A network of pipelines and roads ensured a steady supply of fuel to its two 80 MW boilers and three smaller 10 MW units. In 2010, the Heizkraftwerk Aubrugg took a giant leap into the future. A new wood-fired power plant, built within the existing structure, roared to life. This eco-friendly addition generates a remarkable 38,000 MWh of electricity and 104,000 MWh of heat annually, all from wood chips. Imagine that the warmth radiating through your home on a chilly evening could be thanks to this very power plant. The Heizkraftwerk Aubrugg exemplifies Zurich’s commitment to green energy. It’s a testament to how even the most industrial structures can evolve to embrace sustainability.
