You are misremembering. Germany extended a coal mine to maintain its current coal usage. Germany’s coal usage has be declining for decades and declined in 2024 as well.
Germany will (and probably shouldn’t) give up on coal completely as it is the only kind of fuel that they have direct access to (besides renewal ones) and being able to generate a lot of energy on demand, can be important in war settings. So Germany has a military interest to maintain some coal mines and power plants. It sucks but someone somewhere is always starting wars.
