Schuld daran sind ein schlecht ausgebautes Stromnetz und marode Kohlekraftwerke, die nach wie vor für 85 Prozent der Stromproduktion verantwortlich sind. Staatsgelder, die in den Ausbau der Strominfrastruktur hätten fließen sollen, scheinen vielfach irgendwo...

Bavaria and Germany coped well with this. There were many gloomy predictions - even in the days just before Christmas, when the proportion of coal-fired electricity in the German power grid was high for a short time. The “Bild” newspaper wrote at the time about “Germany in the coal trap.” CSU General Secretary Martin Huber posted that German electricity was dirtier than it had been in years. [...] Germany...

Supply of electricity is questionable. The result remains “sobering”. In 2024, the test results will be “sobering” again, the authorities say. The government is behind schedule in expanding renewables and the electricity grid, as well as in building up so-called backup capacities. In addition, there is a lack of a concept against high electricity prices. No matter who is in power, whether a Groko blocks the energy transition...

If the diesel runs for a longer period of time, it can fail prematurely. During a test in another nuclear power plant, these quality defects proved to be the cause of total diesel failure. If the external power grid and the reserve grid failed (emergency power situation), the power supply for Tricastin 3/4 would not have been secured to dissipate the decay heat in the reactor core; in the worst case, there would have been a...
The big advantage of abandoned mines for such projects is that the necessary basic infrastructure - the underground shafts, the lift systems and a power grid connection - already exists there.

Billions in costs - which also affect electricity prices. The German energy industry is expecting additional billions in costs to stabilize the German power grid in the next few years. The main causes include the delay in grid expansion and the insufficient expansion of renewable energies in the south compared to the high demand. According to the assessment of...

Style in the southern states. Bremen – The anger over renewable energies is entering the next round. This time a dispute is brewing that concerns the network fees that are passed on to consumers for the expansion of the electricity grid and the connection of new wind and solar systems.

Electricity highway from north to south is already leaving deep traces. [...] In order to achieve climate neutrality in the electricity sector, many kilometers of additional electricity networks would have to be built over the next two decades.
