Sigmar Gabriel
According to Reuters, Sigmar Gabriel is willing to travel to Stockholm for a conversation with Stefan Löfven as a reminder of the Swedish energy company responsible for German jobs and a stable power generation.
In a document Reuters come across shows that Sigmar Gabriel, who is also vice chancellor, believes that Germany can not refrain from lignite-based electricity generation in the decommissioning of nuclear power and the great energy transition, energiewende, as the country is implementing.
Vattenfall, which has been criticized for lignite operations in Germany, has hinted that a sale could bring in close to 30 billion, while getting rid of a much criticized activity .
But Sigmar Gabriel points out that the waterfall can not compensate for bad business in other countries by selling lignite operations in Germany.
Coal-based power generation accounts for 45 percent of German energy supply. Sigmar Gabriel emphasizes that it is not possible to phase out the production of electricity from coal and nuclear power at the same time. It can lead to a cost explosion and force companies to move production to other countries.
