NO.2 Germany plans to close all coal-fired power plants by 2038
On January 26, the German coal exit commission announced a consensus to phase out coal-fired power plants, with plans to end coal power by the end of 2038 at the latest. The commission recommended “a roadmap for coal exit”: by 2022, 12.5GW of coal-fired power plants will be shut down (1GW = 1000MW, 1MW = 1000KW), another 13GW will be closed by 2030, and coal-fired power will be completely phased out by 2038. At the same time, the government will give companies and consumers in the affected areas 2 billion euros in compensation each year. The total amount will reach 40 billion euros.
The commission also recommended that new coal-fired power plants would not be allowed. For coal-fired power plants that have been built but not yet in operation, operating permits will not be issued.
Reason for listing:
In terms of meeting emission reduction targets and replacing old energy sources with clean ones, Germany is a firm representative of "coal exit". In 2018, renewable energy including photovoltaics, wind power, hydropower and biomass energy have replaced coal power as Germany's main power source, accounting for 40% of total power supply, while coal accounted for 38%. The “roadmap for coal exit” is a signal of accelerated transformation released by Germany: the shift to clean energy is an irreversible trend and a market opportunity.
