Germany wants to move away from climate-damaging coal and towards energy from wind and sun. Gas power plants should close gaps. Because their planning takes time, an important report is delayed.
Germany wants to move away from climate-damaging coal and towards energy from wind and sun. Gas power plants should close gaps. Because their planning takes time, an important report is delayed.
The consequences of the coal phase-out remain unclear: the Federal Government violates the legal deadline for submitting the test report. Meanwhile, criticism of the closure of RWE brown coal power plants in NRW is growing.
The Federal Ministry of Economics was supposed to present an evaluation report on the coal phase-out in North Rhine-Westphalia on 15 August. It is now moving it – and wants to wait for the new gas power plants. This has consequences.
In fact, North Rhine-Westphalia wants to withdraw from the climate-damaging lignite by 2030 – eight years earlier than planned. However, delays in the construction of new gas power plants in Germany call into question the timetable.
Is it possible to keep the coal phase-out in 2030? The crucial test on the question does not come before the end of February.
