Lawmakers in Germany’s lower house parliament have voted in favour of keeping Germany's three remaining commercial nuclear plants in operation until April.
Germany had planned to complete a phaseout of nuclear power by the end of 2022. But chancellor Olaf Scholz ordered the extension in October amid looming energy shortages in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Lawmakers in the Bundestag were voting on changing Germany’s Atomic Energy Law, which is the legal framework of the extension. The revisions clearly stipulate that there will be no new extension beyond April.
