Energy crisis: decided to continue operating the last three German nuclear power plants

The Isar 2, Neckarwestheim 2 and Emsland kilns will remain in operation for a few months longer. The Federal Council refrains from appealing to the mediation committee.

It has been decided that the last three German nuclear power plants will continue to operate until April 15 next year.

The Federal Council refrained from appealing to the mediation committee for this law. With that, it can come into effect. The Bundestag had already approved the law in mid-November.

The Isar 2, Neckarwestheim 2 and Emsland kilns are to remain in operation for a few months longer in order to secure the power supply this winter. In the course of the nuclear phase-out, they should actually have been switched off at the end of the year.

There had been a heated argument within the federal government, especially between the Greens and the FDP, about a possible further use of the three power plants. In the end, Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) spoke a word of power.
