Stock Photo - dpatop - 30 September 2019, Brandenburg, Jänschwalde: The steaming cooling towers of the Jänschwalde lignite-fired power plant of Lausitzer Energie Bergbau AG (LEAG) are reflected in a puddle. According to the operator LEAG, block E is disconnected from the mains at 5 pm. From midnight onwards, no more emissions will be produced and the 500 megawatt block will go into safety readiness. With the closure of the second block, around 600 positions will no longer be filled in the next few years. According to the head of the power plant's works council, this applies to both the opencast mine and the power plant. A year ago, Block F was already disconnected from the power grid and has since been on four-year safety alert, at the end of which it will be shut down.
