Saint-Avold Coal Plant Resumes Operations Amid Uncertainty for Workers

The Saint-Avold coal plant in Moselle has resumed electricity production for the winter, but employees remain anxious about their futures as the French government aims to phase out coal entirely by 2027. With about 500 jobs at stake, the lack of confirmed plans for conversion to biogas or biomass fuels is concerning. Workers submitted a strike notice amid fears for their employment as many contracts expire in April. While a legislative amendment for the plant’s reconversion was previously removed, new proposals are being considered, although government support remains uncertain.
