Germany’s anti-nuclear movement fought for this moment for decades. But it comes as the U.S. and other countries have renewed interest in nuclear energy.
In Poland, construction of the country’s first nuclear power plant is due to get underway in 2026, and could take between 10 and 15 years.“In that time, we could increase the share of renewables in Germany by up to 80 to 95 percent,” said Claudia Kemfert, an economist at the German Institute for Economic Research.
The last three plants made up a tiny part of the country’s power production. Between 2000 and 2021, the contribution of nuclear power to the Germany energy mix shrunk. By October 2022, nuclear power provided just 6 percent of the country’s electricity.
