Great summary by @KeAppunn on the why, how, when, ... of Germany bringing back retired #coal power plants as a way to tackle the current #EnergyCrisis
Which plants can be used, under which circumstances? What does it mean for coal exit plans? For #climate targets?

The idea behind scrapping the renewables levy was that cheaper power meant higher uptake of electric transport & heating – now the price reduction will be a small relief amid rising energy prices due to the Russian war against Ukraine & gas-supply crunch
