Despite the expansion of solar and wind power, gas-fired power stations continue to dictate the market price for many hours of the year. “Renewables have already brought down the average price of electricity significantly,” says Patrick Lemcke-Braselmann, CEO of the aream Group. “At the same time, however, the gap between very expensive and very cheap electricity prices is widening significantly.” But there is a solution.

The expansion of renewable energy in Germany is making progress, and its share of electricity generation is growing, but the pace is still too slow. There is no guarantee that the expansion targets will be met. “This makes it all the more important to stick to these targets and step up the pace,” comments Andreas Ehrbar, Chief Operating Officer of the aream Group.

aream Group SE has brokered a long-term electricity supply contract for a project company within the Stadtwerke Halle group, which is managed by EVH GmbH.

Times appear to be tough for the renewable energy sector. Not only has political support waned, but in recent months several established companies have also run into financial difficulties. “However, this is not a crisis of the technology itself, but rather a shake-out of certain financing and business models,” says Markus W. Voigt, Executive Chairman of the aream Group. “Investors who bought into the reality rather than the hype are in a strong position, and new opportunities are now opening up for them.”
