Maritsa East Power Station (ТЕЦ Марица изток) is a thermal power station 40 km from Stara Zagora in Bulgaria. Blocks 2 and 3, which were built in 1977 and 1980 have a 325 metre tall chimney, making it Bulgaria's tallest free-standing structure. The construction of the thermal power and mining complex began in 1952.
While block 1 only serves the compressed slack production in the region and has an installed capacity of 200 MW, block 2 disposes of 1440 MW and block 3 of 840 MW, making Maritsa East the largest thermal power complex in Bulgaria.
