Germany expects to extend the lifespan of two of its last nuclear power plants Isar 2 and Neckarwestheim beyond their planned phase-out as declines in ...

"The operators will now make all the preparations needed for the southern German nuclear power plants to produce electricity in winter and beyond the end of the year, naturally in compliance with safety regulations," Habeck said. The status of France's nuclear power supply would be a big factor in Germany's final decision on whether to extend the lifespan of the plants and should be made this year, Habeck said at a news conference. Germany had planned to complete a phase-out of nuclear power by the end of this year but a collapse in energy supplies from Russia because of the war in Ukraine has prompted the government to keep two plants on

BERLIN — Germany will "probably" extend the runtime of two of its three remaining nuclear power plants until April, Economy Minister Robert Habeck said ...

For that to happen, Lindner would have to free up state funds and most likely abandon his long-stated goal of reintroducing Germany's debt brake by next year. Theoretically, the German government could set up a special fund that falls outside the debt rules, something it did earlier this year with a €100 billion military modernization program. Habeck said: "If this development is not reversed, we will leave Isar 2 and Neckarwestheim connected to the grid in the first quarter of 2023." "I have taken note of the fact that there are now seemingly alternative financing options that were not there three months ago or had not been found yet," he said. The political opposition, as well as Lindner's FDP, want nuclear power to be online until at least 2024. Germany's energy emergency is forcing Habeck to backtrack on a key principle of his Green party.
