Lingen Nuclear Power Plant is an inactive nuclear power plant in Germany, close to Emsland Nuclear Power Plant.[1] It was constructed between 1964 and 1968 as a demonstration of safe and reliable nuclear power. Operation began on 1 October 1968.[2]
It once belonged to VEW, and now belongs to RWE Power AG.
The plant was permanently shut down in 1977.
RWE has plans for a 400 MW 2-hour grid battery at the site, re-using the Amprion grid connection.[3]
