Germany shut down on Friday half of the six nuclear plants that it still has in use, one year before it draws the curtain on its decades-long reliance on atomic power.
These three reactors, now being shut down, were originally powered up in the mid-1980s. They provided electricity for nearly four decades to millions of German homes.
In 2021, Germany generated almost 46% of its electricity from renewable energy sources. According to the Fraunhofer Institute, coal accounted for more than 51% and nuclear power for over 13%.

The Company holds a 49.9% working interest in El Romeral through its interest in Tarba Energía (‘Tarba’).
Mark Routh, Prospex’s CEO, commented: “This loan repayment by Tarba Energía to its two shareholders is 40% of the €750,000 acquisition cost of El Romeral.

This means that Prospex is likely to be generating a net income towards its overheads and operating costs, something which will sit very well with shareholders and potential investors alike.”
