At the start of the decade, an agreement to phase out nuclear power was reached, one that will culminate with the last reactor shuttered in about 15 years. A significant piece of Germany?s energy mix, nuclear supplies 12% of German energy and a quarter of its electricity generation. Losing the nuclear option will have significant impacts on energy security, economic efficiency and environmental sustainability. Eliminating nuclear from the supply portfolio will reduce supply diversity, increasing reliance on energy imports, particularly natural gas, which is not diversified enough. Shutting down productive assets before their useful lifetime will also impact economic efficiency, requiring additional near-term investments in new capacity that could otherwise be avoided. Finally, generation from nuclear power is free of greenhouse gas emissions. While additional renewables capacity, along with energy efficiency gains, could certainly make up some of the resulting gap, there will be greater reliance on carbon-emitting fuels. Without a doubt, a phase-out will limit Germany?s full potential to reduce its emissions. The IEA urges the government to reconsider the decision to phase out nuclear power in light of these adverse consequences.

Som tur är så vill inte Merkel avveckla kärnkraften.

Merkel told the Financial Times that her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party would not support a phase out now "as German nuclear power stations are running well" and that her Christian Social Union (CSU) partners agree with her. However the third coalition group, the Social Democratic Party (SPD), "has made its own decision regarding nuclear energy" and she has "no reason to believe that it will change in the near future."
