      In the first three quarters German coal power plants generated over 30% less electricity then in the first three quarters of 2022. The last two quarters were among the three lowest ever and only beaten by one with full covid lockdown in 2020.

      The important part is not having fossil fuel power plants connected to the grid, but actually running them and that happens less and less.
