After creation of E.ON in 2000, E.ON Kernkraft was created based on the nuclear assets of PreussenElektra AG and Bayernwerk AG. In July 2016, E.ON Kernkraft was renamed PreussenElektra GmbH.[1]
PreussenElektra GmbH operates and owns 83% of the 1.4 GW Grohnde, 80% of the 1.4 GW Brokdorf, and 75% of the 1.5 GW Isar 2 nuclear power plants. Some of these are to be shut down by 2022. It is decommissioning Isar 1 and Unterweser nuclear power plants.[2] It also holds (minority) stakes in the RWE-operated 1.3 GW Gundremmingen (25%) and 12% of the Emsland (1.3 GW) nuclear power plants. According to the assets swap deal between E.ON and RWE, RWE will acquire these minority stakes.
