aream Press release

It is a federal government with green participation that is proving to be the biggest brake on the expansion of renewable energies. Regardless of the area, a lot has been announced, but almost nothing has been specified. This creates uncertainty in an industry that would like to invest, but needs a clear framework to do so. And the German government has failed to provide this framework.

Wind farms are to be greatly expanded, especially in the less windy south of Germany. A study has cast doubt on the profitability of southern wind farms. "But this leaves out the fact that operators and investors alike have long relied on plant-specific yield assessments", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group. "In addition, the plants are becoming more efficient through technical as well as organizational advancements - and that ensures profitability."

Full storage facilities, high temperatures, thrifty consumers and an abundant supply of liquefied petroleum gas have driven energy prices down again in recent weeks. Although the situation remains tense against the backdrop of the Ukraine war and the approaching winter, "In our estimation, the easing of electricity prices in particular will continue for a while", explains Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.

The 27th World Climate Conference has begun in the Egyptian seaside resort of Sharm El Sheikh. It is already clear that the international community will miss its climate targets. The EU will probably tighten its own targets again. "Ambitious plans alone will not solve the problem, however", explains Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.
