Also interesting, total Braunkohle production actually rose last year.

Also see last paragraph in the diary. Direct link to the pdf with the 1990-2011 data.

Re: Saarland coal exit (none / 0)

Thanks for the link. The part that had me confused is why was Braunkohle the only fossil fuel that showed an increase. Is it due to the role their power plants play in relation to renewables? Does it have to do with plans coming online after maintenance? Or am I missing something obvious?

Braunkohle produces baseload only, and the nuclear shutdowns created a market opportunity even while wind output grew. According to this and this, installed capacity actually reduced, so increased production was in the form of increased capacity factor, and that in NRW and Brandenburg.
