The Hambach opencast mine is located in the Rhenish lignite-mining area and, together with the Garzweiler and Inden opencast mines, ensures the supply of lignite for the power plants and the refining facilities operated by RWE Power AG. In 2013, electricity from Rhenish lignite accounted for some 13% of Germany’s total power consumption, equivalent to an absolute electricity volume of 82TWh, for which about 86 million tonnes of coal were used. Including the deliveries to the refining facilities, total output was 98 million tonnes.
