No. Coal in general is in decline in Germany despite the shutdown of nuclear power plants. Some coal power plants were reactivated in 2022 to cover the shortage of gas, but at the same time the run time of the remaining nuclear power plants was extended by around 3 months. The reactivated coal power plants were shut down around the same time as the nuclear power plants.
