Korneuberg power station is a 149.7 MW gas power station in Lower Austria, Austria. It ranks #39 of 131 Austria power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 1983, it is around 43 years old — long-established. Its modelled annual emissions are 159,830 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE), equivalent to about 37k cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 11.9% of Austria's electricity; the national grid averages 117 gCO₂/kWh (83.6% low-carbon) (2025).

At 149.7 MW, Korneuberg power station is around the median gas plant in Austria (153 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG). Its current lifecycle status is “Mothballed” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.
