Neuss-Grevenbroicher Zeitung
German utility RWE warns of structural breaks in the Rhenish lignite mining area in western Germany if the government decides on an early coal-exit date, writes Carsten Sommerfeld in Neuss-Grevenbroicher Zeitung. “We need time for structural adaptation.

RWE wanted to continue to be a “reliable partner” for communities and the region in general, writes Sommerfeld.
