RWE wants at least 12 times more compensation for lignite plants than they are worth - report

威力彩玩法

Current market prices 鈥渕ake a mockery鈥 of compensation claims by Germany鈥檚 biggest utility RWE under the country鈥檚 coal phase-out plan, (IEEFA, in English), which aims to 鈥渁ccelerate the transition to a diverse, sustainable and profitable energy economy.鈥 Recent deals 鈥渋ndicate that Germany鈥檚 coal and lignite power plants and mines have very low value [鈥 RWE says it wants to be compensated for the premature closure of its coal power plants in line with the most generous pay-outs of the past, a position that ignores the darkening outlook for coal mining and generation, and which pits the company against genuinely affected mining communities for precious taxpayer funds.鈥

IEEFA says 鈥渞ecent market activity indicates a valuation range from near-zero to 100 million euros per GW, for a variety of European coal and lignite power plants and mines, starkly lower than RWE鈥檚 1.2 billion euros pitch.鈥

Germany's coal commission recommended that Germany phase out coal by 2038 at the latest, and compensates operators of lignite plants in 鈥渕utual agreements.鈥
