Germany Faces Extended Reliance on Coal-Fired Power as Gas Plant Development Delays Continue

Germany may need to maintain its mothballed coal-fired power stations for a longer period than initially anticipated. This warning comes from grid operator Amprion GmbH, citing significant delays in the construction of new gas plants.

Following the closure of its last nuclear power plant in 2023, Germany's power generation capacity has diminished, prompting concerns about energy reliability. The coal plants, which are currently inactive, can be reactivated quickly to ensure a stable electricity supply if necessary.
