RWE AG said Thursday that it will restart three power plant
units that were previously on standby amid efforts to cut down on
the use of natural gas electricity generation.
The restart, which will take place in the coming days, follows
orders by the German government, the utility company said.
The three units--Neurath C and Niederaussem E and F--have a
capacity of 300 megawatts each. They will be deployed until June 30
next year.
All three reserve power plant units, which run on lignite--also
known as brown coal--had been originally expected to shut down
permanently by next fall.
