Germany begins dismantling wind farm for coal (euobserver.com)

I thought renewables were cheaper than coal. How is this possible?

Thanks for providing this context. From what you say it sounds like a bad initial decision from RWE - tieing themselves in to 'wind turbine as a service'doesn't seem sensible.
