Deep Read: Wie ein ganzes Kraftwerk von Deutschland in die Ukraine gebracht wird

Deep Read: Wie ein ganzes Kraftwerk von Deutschland in die Ukraine gebracht wird

However, since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, no gas has been supplied to Lubmin through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline. This has rendered the combined heat and power plant (CHP) obsolete in Germany.
