EU Approves $2.8 Billion in State Aid to RWE for Early Closure of Lignite-Fired Power Plants
By Pierre Bertrand
The European Commission has approved Germany's plan to compensate RWE for phasing-out its lignite-fired power plants in Germany.
The executive arm of the European Union said Monday that Germany's 2.6 billion euros ($2.80 billion) in aid to RWE was in-line with EU state aid rules.
The funds relate to the early closure of RWE's lignite-fired power plant installations in the Rhineland, the commission's statement said, adding that its decision follows an in-depth investigation.
The decision, however, doesn't include Germany's other EUR1.75 billion in planned aid for Lausitz Energie Kraftwerke to support the closure of its lignite-fired power installations in Lausitz, the commission said.
