Germany shut down 15 coal-fired power plants over Easter to ensure that the country would meet its climate neutrality targets, with Economy Minister Robert Habeck saying that the plants were “neither necessary nor economical”. Germany is aiming to phase out its coal-fired power plants by 2030.

As prices have recovered since then, Germany decided to shut them down.

Germany doesn't need continuous uninterruptable electricity from coal plants !
They will rely on occasionally generate electricity from wind turbines and solar panels !!!
Way funny! They were even taking down wind farms to re-start the coal mines. - go figure.
