Highlights: Giant power plant of the former GDR is dismantled, at a time when neighboring countries are embarking on atomic energy. The plant's electrical transformer station is now connected to the Baltic 1 and Baltic 2 offshore wind farms. At the time of their operation, the five Soviet-designed nuclear reactors produced 11% of the electricity of former East Germany, the GDR. The "largest power plant" in Europe, in 1974, operated by hand. The terminal inaugurated at the beginning of the year sees the noria of LNG carriers from Qatar or Norway loaded with liquefied gas (LNG)
