Seven months ahead of schedule, Bavarian nuclear reactor is shut down

EON Closes Bavarian Nuclear Reactor Seven Months Early http://live.enformable.com/post/80979784483/eon-closes-bavarian-nuclear-reactor-seven-months-early 30 Mar 14

EON notified the Bundesnetzagentur regulator and grid operator TenneT TSO GmbH of its plan to close the 1,275-megawatt Grafenrheinfeld plant at the end of May 2015 “because of its lack of profitability,” the Dusseldorf-based utility said in a statement.

“The continued operation of nuclear power stations in Germany only makes economic sense if they can operate for a sufficient length of time without the burden of the nuclear-fuel tax,” EON said in the statement. The early shutting of Grafenrheinfeld is “unavoidable.”
