- According to Germany’s Federal Network Agency, Mehrum in Hohenhameln is so far the only notified return of a plant to the electricity market, and EPH says it expects a short-term restart.
- Since 14 July 2022, a regulation has allowed hard-coal and oil-fired plants from the reserve to restart in order to reduce gas use in power generation.
- Mehrum has been in reserve since early December 2021, has a net capacity of 690 megawatts and theoretically produced enough electricity in 2018 for more than half a million model households.
- Steag announced plans to return 2,300 megawatts, Uniper is still reviewing facilities totaling more than 2,000 megawatts, while EnBW does not intend to return five reserve plants because of their age.
There is much to suggest that the remaining nuclear power plants should not be shut down, but used if necessary until 2024.— Christian Lindner, FDP chairman, in Bild am Sonntag
