That is not a list of plants being built, it's a list of planned plants (for a broad definition of planned).

- 3 plants (Lünen, Profen and Niederaußem) have apparently been cancelled.

- The promoter of Kalkar-Appeldorn has applied for a permit

- The one of Stade has gotten one, but there is a lawsuit against that

- Datteln replaces a plant that was shut down in 2014, though the old plant only had about 1/3 of the power.

Meanwhile, coal power plants are being shut down without being replaced all the time.

That was my point, a dim list - although the first in the list in "under construction - in undefined state", so it's not only planned. I looked for other lists but couldn't find one. Yes, I can't see a lot of coal power plants build in Germany.
