Grafenrheinfeld Nuclear Power Plant
Grafenrheinfeld, Germany
The 638th largest power station in the world
The Grafenrheinfeld nuclear power plant (Kernkraftwerk Grafenrheinfeld, KKG) is a now-offline electricity-generating facility near Grafenrheinfeld, south of Schweinfurt at the river Main. The plant's single reactor had a nameplate capacity of 1,345 megawatts. The plant operated from 1981 to June 28, 2015, when it was taken offline as part of the phase out policy for nuclear power in Germany. As a result of the plant's closure, Germany has increasingly relied on coal, natural gas, and renewable energy to generate electricity.
