Leibstadt, Switzerland
The 723rd largest power station in the world
The Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant (Kernkraftwerk Leibstadt, KKL) is located near Leibstadt, Aargau, Switzerland, on the Rhine and close to the border with Germany. Commissioned in 1984, it is the youngest and most powerful of the country's four operating reactors. Its General Electric-built boiling water reactor produces 1,285 MW of electrical power. The nuclear power station has produced approximately 8.5 TWh per year, slightly less than the Goesgen Nuclear Power Plant. It is owned by Leibstadt AG (KKL), a consortium of six Swiss energy companies: Axpo Holding AG (split between CKW AG with 13.6%, Axpo Power AG with 22.8% and Axpo Solutions AG with 16.3%), Alpiq AG with 27.4%, BKW Energie AG with 14.5% and AEW energy AG with 5.4%. Management of the power plant was originally the responsibility of EGL AG before being transferred to Axpo.
