According to the federal government's roadmap for the coal phase-out, 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.
