Magdeburg / Naumburg (dpa / sa) - The President of the Saxony-Anhalt district council, Götz Ulrich (CDU), has spoken out in favor of sticking to the previously agreed lignite phase-out in 2038 in the east. One should follow the previous plans, an earlier exit would "absolutely overwhelm us," said the district administrator of the Burgenland district of the German Press Agency. "If you look at all the speeches about accelerating planning - nothing has actually been accelerated so far."
Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck is pushing for an earlier phase-out of coal in the East. An early exit to 2030 must be agreed by consensus, said the Green politician. "I hereby promise the prime minister and all employees that this will not be decided par Ordre du Mufti, but it must be perceived as a good plan in a broad alliance." He has good arguments for the plan.
According to the current legal situation, the last decommissioning of power plant blocks in Germany is planned for 2038 - at the operator Leag in Lusatia.
