A decommissioned power plant on the German coast of the Baltic Sea is being dismantled and sent to Ukraine, following the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines. The Greifswald industrial power plant in Lubmin, majority-owned by Germany's Securing Energy for Europe SEFE, is currently being dismantled, with its transfer managed by Ukrainian oil giant Naftogaz.
An email from the company spokesperson stated that all reuse and sale options were explored, but none proved viable. The decision to donate the facility to Ukraine over scrapping it was deemed the best alternative after its cessation of operations in April 2023. This transfer is part of a broader EU initiative to move decommissioned energy infrastructure to Ukraine, with over 4 billion euros in energy security aid provided since Russia's 2022 invasion.
