The power station is generally a restricted area, open only to staff in full protective gear. However, to mark the 25th anniversary of Avedøre Power Station, DONG Energy has chosen to throw open the doors and invite the public inside.

Niels Christian Kjær, Power Station Manager at Avedøre, said: "We want to give everyone an idea of where the heat and power they use come from, and that is why we’re opening our doors to a day packed with interesting events for the entire family." Avedøre Power Station generates power for more than a million households and delivers district heating to around 215,000 homes.
