Germany at a crossroads: what a nuclear power station tells us about its energy dilemma
Neckarwestheim’s nuclear power station was granted a stay of execution amid Russian gas shortage. Some want it to stay while others can’t wait for it to go.
So far, so typical for a rural community in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. However, this settlement of 4,200 residents has one defining characteristic: it is located right next to one of Germany’s three remaining nuclear power stations.
The challenges facing this picturesque village illustrate how the energy crisis is affecting Europe’s largest economy, as Russia’s weaponisation of the gas supply has complicated Germany’s planned transition away from nuclear.
In more recent times, the village has flourished; its population has doubled over the four decades the power station has been there.
But this is coming to an end, and Neckarwestheim II is living on borrowed time, limiting the local authority’s largesse. Along with Germany’s two other remaining nuclear power stations, it was supposed to be turned off by the end of the year, undergoing the final stage of an 11-year phase-out process initiated by Angela Merkel’s government after the 2011 Fukushima disaster in Japan.
However, the urgent need to ensure winter energy supply as Russia throttled flows of gas into Europe led the federal government in Berlin to grant a stay of execution.

Sizewell C: government restarts talks over £20bn nuclear power station. Move comes alongside energy white paper, which aims to cut UK’s carbon emissions.
Sizewell Nuclear Power station in Suffolk viewed across the Minsmere RSPB reserve.The government will restart talks with EDF on its plan to build a nuclear reactor at Sizewell C in Suffolk, and may take a direct financial stake in its construction. The latest round of negotiations over the £20bn nuclear reactor will focus on whether EDF can prove that it has learned lessons from the Hinkley Point nuclear project, and that a successor plant would offer the public value for money. The UK government said it was considering a new deal to help the French state-owned energy company finance Sizewell, which may include taking a direct stake in the project and making taxpayers liable for any cost overruns. A statement from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy said it would consider a greater role in the project provided there was “clear value for money for consumers and taxpayers”. The decision to restart formal negotiations comes after a hiatus in talks that have been dogged by concerns over cost, and the involvement of China General Nuclear Power (CGN), which holds a 20% stake in the project.© Tom Pilston / eyevine
