Brunsbüttel nuclear power plant is located on the west coast of the Dithmarschen area of Schleswig-Holstein on the banks of the Lower Elbe, three kilometres east of the town of Brunsbüttel.
Brunsbüttel was the first nuclear power plant in Schleswig-Holstein. It was commissioned in February 1977, and decommissioned in 2019. The goal is to have the plant dismantled by 2034. From its commercial commissioning until the final reactor shutdown in July 2007, the Brunsbüttel nuclear power plant generated a net output of 118,855,371 MWh.
The Brunsbüttel plant is owned by Vattenfall (66.7%) and PreussenElektra (33.3%). In Germany, Vattenfall also has shareholdings in the Krümmel nuclear power plant, as well as a 20% minority stake in Brokdorf.
