* [[Greifswald Power Station]] in in Lubmin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is proposed by [[Dong Energy]] to have an installed capacity of 1600 megawatts and has a notional commissioning date of 2012. The project sparked widespread community opposition

In April 2008 ''Power in Europe'', an energy trade newsletter, reported that the project "is in doubt after members of the SPD government in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern have threatened to resign if construction goes ahead. Local opposition is high. Dong wants to start construction this year and operations in 2012."

In its "new power plant tracker", the newsletter stated that the proposed "plant still in the the planning process. A final investment decision expected by the end of the year." It also notes that the environmental group BUND estimated that the project would emit 9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year.
As of July 2009, Dong had agreed to use Vattenfall's transmission unit to transport power from the plant. The plant was still waiting for approval. Opponents fear a loss of tourism revenue and damaging effects for aquatic life in the Baltic Sea.

* [[Heilbronn Power Station]] Karlsruhe, Heilbronn is
proposed by
ENBW to
have
an
installed
capacity of 750 megawatts coal-fired and 400 megawatts of gas-fired capacity. In June 2006, ENBW announced that the "preliminary planning for a new power plant on the Heilbronn site would not be continued for the imminent investment cycle". Prof. Dr. Thomas Hartkopf, the Chief Technical Officer of EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG stated in a media release that "difficult supply with power plant gas on the Heilbronn site and the resulting unfavourable economic aspects of a new combined gas and steam turbine plant, as well as the special situation at the Neckar site, which leads to comparatively high logistical costs for the supply of coal."

an existing coal-fired power plant that has that its operator

* [[Ingelheimer Aue Power Station]] in Mainz is a proposal by KMW for a 750-800 megawatt unit with a notional commissioning date of 2012 and construction cost of €1 billion. In April 2008 ''Power in Europe'' reported that a local group, Koma (Kohlefreies Mainz), claimed that 'opponents to coal' now have a city council majority in both Mainz and Wiesbaden." Koma wants the company to opt for a 400 megawatt gas project. ''Power in Europe'' also noted that in May 2007 "2,500 people from Mainz and Wiesbaden protest against project" and that the environmental group BUND estimated the likely carbon dioxide emissions from the project would be 4.2 million tons a year. KMW "had planned to build a new 400 MW CCGT ahead of the 2007 gas tax exemption deadline, but has dropped the idea because of rising fuel prices."
