The European photovoltaic association, Solarpower Europe, expects a global expansion of 655 gigawatts of solar capacity this year - but the figure could rise to 774 gigawatts. The prerequisite for this, however, is that the trade war emanating from the USA does not escalate further. “The forecasts show the risk that US tariff policy poses to climate protection and the global energy transition“, comments Patrick Lemcke-Braselmann, Co-CEO of aream Group SE.

Der im Koalitionsvertrag 2025 verankerte Investitionsfonds für Energieinfrastruktur könnte sich als starker Motor für die deutsche Energiewende erweisen. Er wird viele Milliarden mobilisieren und private Investitionsrisiken abfedern. „Jetzt heißt es, genaues Augenmerk auf die konkrete Gestaltung des Fonds zu legen – und darauf zu achten, keine unnötigen bürokratischen Hürden zu errichten“, erklärt Patrick Lemcke-Braselmann, Co-CEO der aream Group SE.

Finally some good news from the climate front: Germany is making progress in reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. According to new projections from the Federal Environment Agency, the climate targets for 2030 are within reach. On a global level, however, it is still too early to sound the all-clear. “This is yet another reason why there is no alternative for Germany but to continue on its chosen path”, says Patrick Lemcke-Braselmann, Co-CEO of aream Group SE.

With just a few strokes of the pen, US President Trump is causing billions in losses on the books. His tariff policy is a one-sided declaration of war on global trade and the stock markets are tumbling. “But in addition to the short-term upheavals, the framework conditions will change over the long term“, says Patrick Lemcke-Braselmann, Co-CEO of aream Group SE. “While investors are looking for less volatility in the short term, they will repatriate capital in the medium term and prefer to invest closer to home.“
