Philippsburg Nuclear Power Plant
Philippsburg, Germany
The 607th largest power station in the world
The Philippsburg Nuclear Power Plant is located in Philippsburg, Karlsruhe (district), Germany. The plant was operated by EnBW Kernkraft GmbH. As part of Germany's phase out of nuclear energy (Atomausstieg), unit 1 was shut down in 2011 and unit 2 in 2019. Demolition of conventional structures began in January 2020. The process of decommissioning is underway as of January 2020 beginning with defueling and dismantling of primary coolant lines. The plants operator EnBW expects the decommissioning process to take around 10–15 years. A 400 MW / 800 MWh grid battery is planned at the site, to connect to the Ultranet (powerline).
