Interesting Facts/Records (in own words): The Tallinn Power Plant, also known as Tallinna elektrijaam in Estonian, is a former power plant situated in Tallinn, Estonia. Its construction was initiated by the Volta company and approved by the Tallinn City Council in 1912, following the work of a special committee established in 1909. The plant was built next to the Tallinn Gas Factory, on the site of the former Stuart fortress. It was designed by Volta, with architecture by Hans Schmidt. The power plant was originally equipped with three Laval-type 250 horsepower (0.19 MW) steam turbines and three 250 horsepower (0.19 MW) electric generators, all produced by Volta. Additionally, two coal-fired boilers were manufactured by AS Franz Krull. The power plant opened on 24th March 1913 and was originally fuelled by coal. It was expanded and converted to run on peat and wood in 1919-1920. In 1924, the power plant was switched to oil shale. The power plant was the first in the world to use oil shale as its primary fuel. It achieved a capacity of 22 MW in 1939.
A new turbine hall was commissioned in 1929, followed by a new switchboard in 1932. Although the plant was destroyed during the war in 1941, it was restored by 1948, with the addition of a new 102.5-metre (336 ft) flue-gas stack. On 9 October 1959, the plant began operating as a combined heat and power plant, providing district heating to Tallinn. It was switched to fuel oil in 1965. Electricity production at the plant ceased on 2 February 1979.
The former power plant boiler house has been used as an energy museum since 1984. Since 2011, the power plant complex has been used to host the Tallinn Creative Hub (Kultuurikatel).
