Oud Amsterdam. Voormalige Hemweg centrale 1982

Martin Scheffer filmde in 1982 de voormalige Hemweg centrale nu in handen van Nuon als ik het goed begrijp.

@alwaysuseless I stated that the Hemweg powerplant (=centrale) is owned now by Nuon. More on Hemweg can be found on Wikipedia.

@alwaysuseless The Hemweg was (weg=road) the road along which the electricity powerplant was situated. Much has changed in that vicinity in the past thirty years. Amsterdam people look back in nostalgia to the good old days.

What you see was the old coal unit and gas unit 5 and 6 they are demolished. At the back you see the Hemweg gas unit 7 she is closed this year and will be demolished. Now are running hemweg 8 a coal fired unit and late in this year gas unit hemweg 9 will do her first start up. So the Hemweg powerplant is stil working strong.

Thanks. Google translation tools translate your Dutch description into English: Martin Scheffer filmed in 1982, the former central Hemweg now owned by Nuon as I understand it. Hemweg = Power plant?

[@hanniebal5628]

Hoi kees, Wordt de gasgestookte unit ook gesloopt en/of komt er een nieuwe moderne unit voor in de plaats?

[@s0012823]

Hemweg 8 wordt nu gesloopt en 9 blijft nog in bedrijf voor zolang het duurt.

[@KeesHaring]

This is the place i work and is now a modern power plant owned by NUON a member of the Vattenfall group LOL

[@s0012823]

Hemweg 8 (coal unit) is torn down and Hemweg 9 is still in operation (gas unit)

@MichaelRogge I knew weg = road in German and thought it might also be road in Dutch, but then the "Hem" part I don't understand. Also, Nuon is a Dutch energy production corporation. If Hemweg refers to the road, then the sentence seems to say that Nuon owns the road-which doesn't quite make sense. They own the power plant.

A bit late, but maybe useful: Hem used to be a very small village between the cities of Amsterdam and Zaandam. Just like Sloterdijk, which once was a small place near Amsterdam, it got completely sucked up in the metropole Amsterdam as it expanded rapidly after WW2. Both Sloterdijk and Hem do not exist anymore, but especially Sloterdijk still 'remains' as addition in the station name 'Amsterdam Sloterdijk'. The Hemweg was most likely the only main roaod in the past to enter or pass through the village of Hem, thus the origin of the name 'Hemweg'.
