Lausitzer Rundschau

Czech investor EPH has announced plans to move “several hundred” administrative jobs to the city of Cottbus in Lusatia - one of Germany’s lignite mining and power production regions - once the acquisition of  Vattenfall’s German lignite plants and mines is finalised, reports Lausitzer Rundschau. EPH board member Jan Špringl also told the newspaper the company would not be exporting German coal. “What is mined here will also be converted to electricity here,” writes Lausitzer Rundschau.
