German regulator backs eleven new gas power plants

Original: Die # Bundesnetzagentur fördert den Bau von elf neuen # Gaskraftwerken mit insgesamt 5.160 Megawatt Leistung. Ab 2031 so

Germany's Federal Network Agency has approved funding for the construction of eleven new gas-fired power plants with a combined capacity of 5,160 megawatts. The plants are scheduled to secure the country's electricity supply from 2031, stepping in when wind and solar generation falls short. The support works out to roughly twelve billion euros, sparking debate over the pace of Germany's energy transition.

Why now: The funding decision touches on ongoing concerns about energy security and Germany's shift away from fossil fuels.
