aream Press release

In the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, electricity prices reached unprecedented heights. However, the situation has been calming down for several months, and recently electricity has become cheaper. “For consumers, this is good news”, commented Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. “However, it cannot be assumed that electricity will soon be as cheap as it was before the crisis.”

Lots of sunshine with high wind levels: May was a very good month for renewable energies in Germany. In Europe, the situation looks different: "In Italy, with the heavy rainfall, and also in Spain, solar radiation was significantly lower than usual, decreasing by 14 and 30 percent, respectively", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.

Bureaucracy, high taxes, digitization, disrupted supply chains, a shortage of skilled workers and the implementation of a sustainability strategy: industrial companies in Germany have to contend with a number of challenges. Added to this are now extremely tense and volatile energy markets. But this can be tackled: More and more companies are choosing to produce their own green power. "Insourcing energy production has great advantages", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group. "On this path, however, companies need an experienced partner to make sure they get where they want to go."

Hardly any other policy area is at the center of debate as much as energy policy. This ensures that new ideas are constantly being dumped into the marketplace of opinion. And however good the intentions behind them may be, one thing is foreseeable: Every new idea hampers the transformation of the energy industry until it is implemented or dropped. The discussion about subsidized industrial electricity prices is an ideal example of this.
