The global energy crisis forced one German electricity producer to shut down its power plant last week after it ran out of hard coal.

Steag GmbH, which operates six large-scale hard coal plants in Germany, was forced to close its Bergkamen-A plant, located in the western part of the country, due to shortages, a Steag spokesperson told Bloomberg.
