In light of an anticipated energy crisis this winter, German Chancellor Olaf Schultz declared that his nation would provide the “legal underpinnings” required to continue operating the final three nuclear power plants in the nation until next April. The legal bases for the extension will be contained in a book written by the German advisor and addressed to the ministers in his administration. Run the three nuclear power plants until April 15 following December 31, 2022.
In the midst of efforts being made by the largest economic power in Europe to avoid the import of Russian energy resources against the backdrop of the Ukrainian crisis, the government had previously agreed to extend the work of two of the three stations until after the date of its placement outside of the service at the end of the year.
The fate of the Imland nuclear plant in northern Germany had sparked a debate between the Shults partners in the government coalition, and the Green Party resisted the demands of the liberal party regarding the keeping of the station.
The dispute has been discussed several times recently, but no resolution has been reached. According to the Schultz statement released on Monday, a decision had been made to end the impasse.
According to the book, Schultz, the Socialist Socialist Party’s leader from the left of the centre, utilises his authority as a consultant to issue a directive.
At the end of 2022, Germany intended to shut down its final three nuclear power plants, completing the process of abandonment that had been started by former chancellor Angela Merkel.
The plans were altered by the Ukrainian crisis, and the German government was compelled to reassess its choice as a result of the region’s energy problems and high electricity prices.
Schultz: Germany will continue operating its final three nuclear power plants.
