The Schwarze Pumpe coal-fired power plant stands out against the rising sun, photographed in Neupetershain, 06.01.2022. According to the federal government's roadmap for phasing out coal, the last unit of the power plant is to be shut down by the end of 2038. Along with Jaenschwalde and Boxberg, Schwarze Pumpe is one of three power plants in Lusatia whose economic infrastructure is largely dependent on coal production.
