**How much money does it cost to close a coal-fired power station?** In the scheme drawn up by the Dutch government last year, a maximum of 328 thousand euros per megawatt has been set for the buyout sum. In order not to turn that compensation into disguised state aid, the amount may not exceed what a power plant would earn until 2030. For the Riverstone power station, this would amount to 262 million euros. https://deciliiter.com/left-wing-parties-want-to-close-a-coal-fired-power-station-within-a-few-months-what-does-it-cost-and-is-it-worth-it/
