Original Note:
The chart begins from January 2023, when 14 of 17 plants had already been shut down. The last three closed in April 2023. In years prior to 2021 the electricity was around 40 €/MWh, less than half of today's price. Germany has opened coal plants in recent years. https://tradingeconomics.com/germany/electricity-price https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/germany-fires-up-extra-coal-power-capacity-plug-winter-supplies-2022-11-02/
