Energy company RWE is accelerating its coal phase-out and plans to completely abandon lignite-based power generation by 2030. However, to ensure security of supply in Germany, two lignite-fired power plant units will continue to run until the end of March next year for the time being. The decision is part of an understanding with, among others, the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection.
