German officials announced a new plan for the country’s power generation, a strategy that includes putting at least 10 GW of new gas-fired capacity up for tenders.
Officials on Feb. 5 said the plants would be designed to eventually burn hydrogen at some point between 2035 and 2040, according to Germany’s Economy Ministry. The agency on Monday said the plan is in its early stages, and is part of the country’s need to ensure a stable supply of electricity after Germany’s phase-out of nuclear power and coal-fired generation.
