Going into operation in 2015, and planned to operate until 2038, the Hamburg-Moorburg coal-fired power plant was one of the most modern and efficient in the world, but had to be taken off the grid again in 2021 due to Germany’s mad rush to green energies.
The 1,655 megawatt power plant was able to generate enough power equivalent to the needs of the entire city of Hamburg.

But now Blackout News reports that operator Vattenfall “has halted the dismantling of the coal-fired power plant for the time being due to the uncertain energy supply.”
The move leaves open the possibility of restarting Moorburg if gas supplies from Russia are cut off.
