Coal miner and power generator LEAG, owned by Czech energy firm EPH, plans to build gas-fired power stations at four locations in Germany as part of a government strategy to add more such plants, its CEO told Reuters in an interview.
Germany s government has agreed plans to subsidise gas power plants that can switch to hydrogen, the economy ministry said on Monday, with a price tag of $17 billion in subsidies as part of efforts to supplement intermittent renewable energy and speed up the transition to low carbon generation.
