Rotterdam coal-fired power station does not want to close, setback for climate goals

The coal-fired power station of Onyx Power in Rotterdam has decided not to make use of the subsidy scheme for voluntary closure and will therefore remain open. Minister Rob Jetten (Climate) regrets this. “It is a bad decision for the climate. There was a good package of agreements and an appropriate subsidy scheme. That is why I think it is unwise for Onyx Power to renege on this agreement,” he says in a statement. letter to the House of Representatives.
