Coal sourcing Vattenfall

In February 2022, Vattenfall decided to not place any further orders of Russian coal and to phase out Russian coal completely. The last delivery arrived end of March 2022 and none of the two plants in Berlin run on Russian coal anymore. As a result, the share of coal from Russia decreased from 85 percent in 2021 to 28 percent for 2022 as a whole.
