NRW calls for readjustments to the power plant strategy. Energy industry has been waiting for a long time for a strategy for new gas power plants.

The state is also one of the leaders nationwide in the construction of new wind turbines and is also accelerating open-space photovoltaics, says Mona Neubaur (Greens)
