The Dürnrohr plant was built in its proximity in order to use the already established power lines and other infrastructure.

It consists of two blocks: the first with output of 405 MW operated by VERBUND Austrian Thermal Power AG and the second with output 352 MW operated by the Energie-Versorgung Niederösterreich AG.

The plant was powered by black coal imported from the Czech Republic and Poland but today it burns any type of coal and can also use natural gas.

In 2009, the district heating pipeline from the power station to Sankt Pölten was erected from EVN Wärme.

It is the longest district heating pipeline in Austria, with a length of 31 km.
