This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.211.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:53, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[Image:Museu da electricidade.jpg|thumb|670px|[[Tejo Power Station]] architectural ensemble, seen from the [[Tagus River|Tagus River (Rio Tejo)]].]]
The '''[[Tejo Power Station]]''' is a former [[coal fired power station|coal-fired power station]] in the [[Belém (Lisbon)|Belém district]] of [[Lisbon]], Portugal that operated from 1908 to 1975.

It now houses the [[Electricity Museum (Lisbon)|Museu da Electricidade (Electricity Museum)]] complex.
== Former Tejo Power Station ==
((See|Tejo Power Station (history)))
Previously, the Tejo Power Station, known as the '''Junqueira Power Station''', was a small electricity factory. It was built in 1909 and based on a project by engineer Lucien Neu, with architectural execution carried out by Charles Vieillard and Fernand Touzet. The building had a modernist aesthetic and ornamentation on its north and south facades. On the building's western side, three industrial naves housed the [[boiler]]s. The defining features of this old power plant were the slender [[chimney]]s, one in brick and one in iron, in an inverted conical stem shape.

The north and south facades of the central nave, where the [[Electrical generator|generators]] were located, were decorated similarly to other [[Cast-iron architecture|iron architecture]] structures, such as [[train station]]s and markets, with modernist influences recently seen in [[Portugal]]. These were divided into three sections separated by [[pilasters]], small cogged [[frieze]]s that ran horizontally along them and, crowning the structure, a large broken [[pediment]]. The side sections displayed two [[Span (architecture)|bays]]: the smaller topped with a [[Lintel (architecture)|lintel]], and the larger finished with a low arch. The central section, larger than the sides, stood out due to its large bay spanning the entire facade from the base to the top, entering the pediment and forcing it up. Engraved in tile on the semi-circular arch's [[alfiz]] was the inscription: ''1909 / Cªs Reunidas de Gaz e Electricidade / Estação Eléctrica Tejo Power Station'' (“United Gas and Electric Companies / Tejo Electric Power Station”).

The industrial naves of the old sugar refinery located beside the power station and previously owned by the ''Companhia de Açúcar de Moçambique'' (Mozambique Sugar Company) date back to the end of the 19th century. These were purchased when the old Tejo Power Station began to be demolished. It is a small plant with little [[Ornament (architecture)|ornamentation]] but a very characteristic shape consisting of two longitudinal naves with a mound-shaped roof – a kind of central tower that functioned as a silo – and four transversal naves on the western side, covered with a gable roof. All bays were protected by a brick frame and are finished with a low arch.

== Current Tejo Power Plant ==
[[File:Museu da Electricidade 8336.jpg|thumb|200px|Low Pressure Building.]]

=== Low-Pressure Phase ===

Construction on the '''[https://faadufoodie.com/low-pressure-building/ Low-Pressure Building]''' began in the middle of the 1910s, although several expansions were carried out until 1930. The building had early [[Modernist architecture|Modernist style]] architectural elements. It had an iron structure with the characteristic brick cladding, which was used in the High-Pressure Building as well.

The old Boiler Room is made up of four industrial naves, three of them identical and the fourth on a larger scale, covered with gable roofs creating a single diaphanous space inside. On the eastern side, and placed across these, there are two more naves that follow the same modernist aesthetic, although the furthest nave (the substation's building) doesn't have a gable roof.

The relatively low facades stand out due to their large vertical windows finished with [[Round arch|semi-circular arches]]. Above these, a kind of [[pediment]] with an accented trim and a [[Lintel (architecture)|lintel]] closes the space. Under all this, a flat [[Base (architecture)|base]] where the brick is hidden, decorated with low arch frames simulating openings, “supports” the rest of the entire facade.

[[File:Central Tejo.jpg|thumb|200px|Machinery Room building (left).]]
The Machinery Room's facade displays the most decorative motifs and modernist elements, similar to the original Tejo Power Station and most of the electric power stations at the time. At its base, there are some differences in comparison with the other facades. The wall is covered in [[Ashlar|carved stone]], except for the lower layers which are in unfinished stone, and above the arched openings, a keystone.

At the brick level, there are also three large windows that finish in semi-circular arches, the middle window being a little larger than the others, and a continuous frame with a keystone at the top of the arches, which spans the entire facade to the building's sides. The top of the facade, also formed by a broken [[pediment]], displays decorative frames made from brick, simulating Lombard bands. On the facade's extremities, [[pilasters]] that originate at the base rise to the pediment, reminiscent of two small towers on church facades.

The longitudinal facades display a harmonious composition divided into three areas separated by large pilasters. Each of these areas has three large vertical windows adorned with a continuous frame that spans the entire side. Above each of these windows there is a smaller square window, a kind of [[frieze]] that crowns the building's side.

=== High Pressure Phase ===
[[File:Central Tejo geral.jpg|thumb|200px|High Pressure Building.]]
[[File:Electricity Museum (8298262292).jpg|thumb|260px|[[Facade]] details.]]
In the High Pressure Building, the decorative motifs are influenced by classicist aesthetic. However, the same brick cladding aesthetic is repeated. In the building's interior, similar to what is seen in the Low Pressure Boiler Room, the ceiling separating the Ash Room from the Boiler Room is covered in semi-circular vaults, with the High Pressure Building using precast concrete instead of tile similar to the Low Pressure Phase building.

The building was built in the 1940s with classical influences from [[Renaissance Palace|Renaissance palaces]] as well as of the [[Fascist]] system that ruled Portugal at the time. This building, a model of [[Cast-iron architecture|iron architecture]] in [[Lisbon]], sustains the entire brick cladding, the [[boiler]]s, the [[chimney]]s and the water reservoir located at the top of the building. Aesthetically, the facade follows the models of a Renaissance palace, divided into [[Base (architectura)|base]], [[pilasters]] and [[entablature]]. The main body displays large windows that end in semi-circular arches with a keystone, outlined with a frame that runs the entire length of the facade. Between the windows, there are large pilasters that span the entire facade from the bottom of the base to the top of the entablature.

The upper [[entablature]] has two independent [[frieze]]s. The lower is decorated with blind arcades, marked by frames. The upper entablature displays the same organization, but with the spaces outlined by frames formed by windows. A small tower stands out in the section closer to the Low Pressure Building and, above everything else in the complex including the High Pressure boilers’ four chimneys, and at their bases, the entire smoke extraction and air recovery system.
