German term or phrase: Dampfzentrale
Das Elbewerk STADE [3] wird zukünftig Dampf aus einer EBS Verbrennungs plant an eine Bio-Ethanol plant liefern und schon heute versorgt die *Dampfzentrale* WEENER [4] eine Papierfabrik mit Prozessdampf.

The related website translations give "steam headquarters" but there must be a more appropriate term!

steam distribution centre


Explanation:
Given that the power station in question is evidently a CHP power station, where the steam produced is then distributed to various users rather than being cooled and condensed.

Example sentence(s):
  • Operating a water distribution centre, a steam distribution centre
