Ene.National Energy Museum consists of three principal parts: Ene.central, Ene.bosque, and Ene.térmica, with this last one, Ene.térmica, being the only installation already inaugurated and ready for visits as of today. Ene.térmica consists of the following spaces:


Coal Unloading Dock: Constructed in 1930, it is, currently, the scene for the explanation of the process of the arrival and provisioning of coal to Ene.térmica as well as the access point for visitors to this installation. In addition, one can get to know the restored steam locomotive No 8 and yet another unique element of this space: the recently installed Goldberg Machine. This is an apparatus that explains the importance of two fundamental elements for the generation of electricity: coal and water.


Boiler Vessel: The Boiler Vessel is one of the most emblematic buildings of Ene.térmica. It was built in two phases: the first one between 1928-1930, and a second stage enhancing the installations and machinery in the 1940s. The enclosure walls of red brick, the large windows, and the four chimneys that crown the building are the marks of a unique personality that identifies and represents Ene.térmica.


Turbine Vessel: The Turbine Vessel is the building where all the machinery that made electricity production possible was housed. Electricity was generated thanks to the steam that came from the Boiler Vessel next to this building. Some enormous windows that fill this space with light, and the vessel’s outstanding height, which was necessary so that the bridge crane could lift the enormous weight of the turbines, are the most singular characteristics of the building.
