Germany is more likely to have to keep using two of its remaining three nuclear power plants due to the ongoing energy crisis and a potential shortfall in power generation, according to Economy Minister Robert Habeck.

“We are already in a situation now where the stress test says it could become necessary to use nuclear power for the security of the grid,” Habeck said Tuesday at a Der Spiegel climate conference in Berlin.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s ruling coalition agreed this month to keep two of the three nuclear plants on reserve beyond the end of this year, reversing a long-planned shutdown of the facilities.

The government has come under intense pressure to delay the final step in the nuclear phaseout after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine triggered a dramatic surge in energy prices.
