It is one of the most important results of the UN Climate Change Conference COP28, which is coming to an end: around 120 countries have declared their intention to triple the production of renewable energies by 2030. "The problem here is less likely to be photovoltaics, but rather the expansion of wind energy," comments Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.

The expansion of wind energy in Germany is falling well short of the German government's targets. One of the obstacles is the resistance of many municipalities to the construction of new wind turbines. Politicians are countering this resistance by giving local authorities a share of the profits from wind energy. "This is a promising approach, especially in times of tight budgets," comments Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. "However, politicians could take a more decisive approach here and make the investments more attractive."

Agriculture or energy production, food or green electricity - they don't have to be mutually exclusive. "Agri-photovoltaics finally brings agriculture and solar energy together", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. "And all sides benefit: A double harvest can be harvested on the same area. A good reason for us to focus on the first agrivoltaic projects."

Tim Van den Brande was appointed Managing Director of aream Institutional Sales Management UG on November 10, 2023. "We are delighted to have gained Tim Van den Brande, a very experienced managing director in the sale of real assets," says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.
