FRANKFURT, Sept 18: Germany has secured 2,022 megawatts (MW) of the 2,540 MW emergency electricity capacity it needs to get through the winter, the energy regulator said on Monday, confirming a forecast that possible shortages were being managed. Potential energy shortages will be a problem for years in German as nuclear plants in the south are being closed more quickly than grids are revamped, and the country also exports a lot of power at times of high supply, leaving certain inland regions with transmission bottlenecks potentially undersupplied.
