Power Stations In Germany

Germany has about 1309 power plants with a generating capacity of 112.04037488 gigawatts. Germany is known for its strong commitment to renewable energy and sustainability. With a focus on renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and biomass, Germany's power stations have become some of the most innovative and advanced in the world. But the country still has several power stations that rely on fossil fuels. One such power station is the Datteln 4 power plant, located in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia. This coal-fired power station, which began operation in 2020, has a capacity of 1,100 megawatts and can supply electricity to around 1.5 million households.
