The story of PP#7 resembles most: It was erected in the middle of the last century and closed recently. It produced many hundreds of Megawatts but was ultimately shut down due to increasingly strict pollution regulations. Not much to say really. On paper it's just another power plant. But what we found here is a sprawling, massive conglomeration of raunchy industrial goodness from which it seems like everyone just got up and walked away one day. And one day is about how long it takes to go through everything here; We ran out of daylight on the first trip and had to come back to finish it off properly.
Inside, there's a closure checklist still freshly written on the whiteboard and everything is covered in dust right where they left it. The various basements are flooded and it's pretty obvious this place isn't going to be coming back online.
