Description
The Central Térmica de Es Murterar is a thermal power station in Alcúdia, operating as part of the energy supply for the Balearic Islands and currently well into the process of being decommissioned.
A Power Station in Transition
Es Murterar is a coal-and-oil combined power station that has played a role in supplying electricity to the Balearic Islands for decades. Two of its units — considered among the highest-emitting — have already been shut down permanently. The remaining units have been restricted since 2023 to a maximum of 500 hours of operation per year, and only as a reserve for unforeseen events. Regular operation has effectively ceased.
Industry on the Edge of the Albufera
The plant sits within the Polígon Es Murterar, on the boundary of the Albufera nature reserve. Its striking chimney stack is visible from a considerable distance and is regarded by many as an industrial landmark of the area — a reference point that makes a clear impression on the landscape around Alcúdia. For those with an interest in industrial and engineering history, the concrete complex represents a tangible piece of Mallorca's energy heritage.
Visiting & Practical Notes
The power station is not open to the public as a visitor attraction. Photography on the site is not permitted, and the security team actively enforces this. That said, the complex can be observed perfectly well from the outside, from various vantage points in the surrounding area.
