Council to extend support for coal power plants

Ahead of the Energy Ministers’ meeting on Monday, the Swedish Council Presidency is catering to Poland and other member states with many coal power plants. According to a compromise proposal for the electricity market reform obtained by Table.Media on Thursday, stated capacity payments for coal power plants are set to be extended until the end of 2028. „It is a major scandal that it is Sweden, of all countries, that is coming up with this,“ said Green MEP Michael Bloss.
