1 Plants that must be shut down are excluded from the capacity overview once they stop generating electricity. This applies to our five lignite units in security standby (1,448 MW) which have therefore not been considered in the figure for 2020 and 2019. The Ibbenbüren (794 MW) and Westfalen E (764 MW) hard coal-fired power stations will not be considered any longer from end of 2020 onwards. | 2 Including minor 'other' generation technologies (e.g. oil-fired power plants). | 3 Including generation capacity not owned by RWE that we can deploy at our discretion on the basis of long-term use agreements. As of 31 Dec 2020, these assets accounted for a net installed capacity of 2,211 MW (31 Dec 2019: 2,203 MW) in the Hydro/Biomass/Gas segment and 783 MW (31 Dec 2019: 783 MW) in the Coal/Nuclear segment. | 4 Including minor battery capacity in the Supply & Trading Division.
Note: Renewables capacity incl. batteries amounts to 10,800 MW as of 31 Dec 2020

• Offshore Wind: Consolidation effect - assets acquired from E.ON included as of 18 Sep 2019. Positive weather effect in Q1 2020 after low wind levels in 2019
• Onshore Wind/Solar: Consolidation effect - assets acquired from E.ON included as of 18. Sep 2019. Commissioning of new generation capacity
• Renewables Netherlands: Conversion of Amer and Eemshaven hard coal plants to biomass co-firing (2.9 TWh biomass co-firing at Amer and 0.7 TWh biomass co-firing at Eemshaven)
• Gas Germany: Market price driven higher generation volumes as well as higher availability in first half of 2020
• Gas UK: Less demand in the early part of 2020 due to warm and windy weather and Covid-19 impact thereafter
• Gas Netherlands: Higher power production due to demothballing Claus C (1304 MW); disposal of Inesco (130 MW, Q1 2019)
• Gas Turkey: Higher electricity generation due to favourable weather conditions (less hydro production)

• Lignite: Market price driven lower generation volumes despite positive effect from updated production plan after clarity regarding lignite phase out. Transfer of Neurath C (292 MW) to the lignite reserve in Q4 2019
• Hard coal Germany: mainly market price driven lower generation volumes; decommissioning of Gersteinwerk K2 (614 MW) as of 29 March 2019
• Hard coal UK: Decommissioning of Aberthaw plant as of mid December 2019 (1,560 MW)
• Hard coal Netherlands: lower production at Eemshaven due to market price driven lower commercial dispatch; conversion of Amer and Eemshaven hard coal plant to biomass co-firing (see above)
• Nuclear: mainly damage-related to overhaul at Gundremmingen C
1 Including capacity not attributable to any of the energy sources mentioned. | 2 Including electricity from generation assets not owned by RWE that we can deploy at our discretion on the basis of long-term use agreements. These purchases amounted to 2,157 million kWh (Q1-Q4 2019: 1,829 million kWh) in the Hydro/Biomass/Gas segment and 1,009 million kWh (Q1-Q4 2019: 1,791 million kWh) in the Coal/Nuclear segment.
