Two German nuclear plants can be called upon until April 2023 to help with possible power shortages this winter
Germany will keep two of its three remaining nuclear plants available for power production as part of a reserve scheme recommended by power transmission grid operators that stress-tested electricity supply, the government said on Monday.
Now though, the two southern plants can be called upon until April 2023 to help with possible power shortages this winter, the government said. “We have a number of uncertain factors, and the summer has exacerbated this significantly with the drought,” Habeck said, adding it was considered highly unlikely that there would be a power crisis as Germany has also resurrected some idled coal-fired power stations and will boost grid capacities shortly.Habeck stressed that the two nuclear plants would not be equipped with fresh fuel elements.
