Overview

• RWE confirms a controlled explosion for Saturday, October 25, 2025 at 12:00, with Thüringer Sprenggesellschaft commissioned after its work at Grafenrheinfeld.
• The two 161‑meter towers are expected to yield about 11,000 tonnes of rubble, which RWE plans to reuse on-site as groundwork.
• Decommissioning proceeds under approved plans with €2.8 billion in reserves, and atomic supervision is projected to continue for 15 to 20 years.
• RWE expects about 1.8 million tonnes of material from dismantling, with only 0.6% destined for a final repository and high‑level waste stored on-site for now.
• Redevelopment plans include a permitted 400 MW battery project, with a gas‑fired plant and a solar park also being pursued for the site.
