Pressure on coal business will increase – EnBW head

Handelsblatt

The need to protect the climate and remain profitable will continue to exert pressure on coal-fired power generation businesses, and German energy company EnBW will continue to review its power plants, EnBW’s CEO Frank Mastiaux told Handelsblatt in an interview. The Energiewende has entered a new phase. Until now, energy transition has been promoted by the government via regulations, but in the future competition, technological development, and infrastructure-related topics will set the tone, said Mastiaux.
