Electricity transfer
Under electricity transmission is defined as the deliberate transmission of electricity production rights between two nuclear power plants . The credit to the beneficiary power plant is either at the expense of another nuclear power plant, which has to close earlier as a result, or at the expense of the special quota of 107.25 terawatt hours promised by the federal government for the early decommissioning of the Mülheim-Kärlich nuclear power plant .
An agreement between the energy supplier and the federal government in 2000 stipulated a maximum amount of nuclear power to be produced in Germany. In 2006, RWE applied for 30 TWh to be transferred from the special quota from Mülheim-Kärlich to the Biblis A nuclear power plant , thereby extending its term until 2011. This was rejected by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety ; RWE's lawsuits were dismissed in all court instances, most recently on March 26, 2009 by the Federal Administrative Court.
Atomic Act
The Atomic Energy Act (AtG) has been in force since 1959, has been amended several times since then and expanded to include the agreements of the atomic consensus in 2000 . Among other things, it regulates the free transfer of electricity between the nuclear power plants (Section 7, Paragraph 1b).
Term extension
Refers to the extension of the service life of nuclear power plants in Germany. The power plant operators have been striving to extend the service life since the nuclear consensus in order to develop a holistic new concept for energy generation.
