Seven brown coal blocks are being taken off the grid – the next step towards the coal phase-out in 2030. As of: March 25, 2024, 4:20 p.m By: Lisa Mayerhofer CommentsPressSplit The RWE Niederaussen coal-fired power plant is affected by the closures.
The closure of all blocks had already been planned earlier. But then the energy crisis intervened. At that time, the federal government took five blocks from the so-called supply reserve. Two further blocks were allowed to continue running beyond the originally planned shutdown date.
