In March 2014, EnBW presented its plans to create dismantling infrastructure at Philippsburg. Essentially, this plan involves the construction of a residue processing center and an on-site waste storage facility. The facilities are scheduled to be operational in 2020.
In April 2017, EnBW received approval from the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Environment to decommission and dismantle Unit 1. The dismantling of the plant started in May 2017. The cooling towerTower-like concrete construction for closed-circuit cooling.... was demolished early in the morning of 14th May 2020. In its current estimate, EnBW assumes that the dismantling of KKP-1 will last 10 to 15 years.
