“Lusatia without coal?”

Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (rbb)

A documentary by public television station Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (rbb) discusses the role of lignite mining and power production in the Lusatia region of eastern Germany. With Germany’s targets to limit greenhouse gas emissions, the country’s switch to renewable energy supplies and Vattenfall’s recent decision to sell its east German lignite operations to Czech utility EPH, Lusatia faces deep structural changes over the coming years.
