Germany’s plans for new H2-ready gas-fired power plants
The German government plans to hold long anticipated auctions next year for state support to build new H2 ready gas-fired power plants (expected to be predominantly gas turbine based, but also potentially piston engine units) with a combined installed capacity of 8 GW by 2032. Substantial, yes, but a significant reduction compared to earlier plans, which envisaged up to 20 GW by the turn of the decade. By Julian Wettengel, Clean Energy Wire*
