ESSEN, Nov 23: RWE, the second-biggest power producer in Germany, said Thursday it planned to invest 2.5bn euros in two new German electricity generators. RWE said in a statement that the biggest chunk of the money would be spent on the construction of a 1,600-megawatt coal-fired generator at its existing site in Ensdorf in the Saar region.
The plant is due to come onstream in 2012. A further 500 million euros would then be invested in an 876-megawatt combined-cycle plant in Lingen.—AFP
