Germany should halt additional shutdowns of coal-fired power plants for now, according to Amprion GmbH, a German grid operator. In its message, Amprion argues that keeping coal capacity in service helps protect electricity supply reliability as Germany expands renewable generation. The operator’s position reflects concerns that further coal closures could tighten system margins or increase the risk of supply shortfalls during periods when renewable output is low. While renewables continue to grow, Amprion emphasizes the need to balance the transition with grid security and adequate dispatchable generation. The call is framed as a temporary measure rather than a reversal of the broader move toward cleaner power. Bloomberg and the Financial Post both report the same core recommendation: Germany should not proceed with further coal-plant shutdowns at this time to safeguard electricity delivery.
