Green power already fetches higher prices than conventionally generated power. At least with direct contracts, cleanly produced energy can earn a premium margin. But this is just the beginning. In the future, electricity will be offered in many quality levels - depending on the features that accompany it. A commentary by Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.

Spring is getting off to a slow start in Germany. Southern Europe, on the other hand, is complaining of drought and record heat. Forest fires, crop failures and water shortages are expected, with corresponding effects on tourism and food prices. "Record temperatures were already recorded in Europe last year", comments Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group. "In the fight against climate change, the last brakes on the switch to renewable energies must now be released."

A severe setback for Europe's wind industry: last year, investments in new turbines really collapsed. "The sums are far below what would be needed," commented Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group. "In view of the increased costs and interest rates, politicians will have to ease the burden on the wind industry and offer investment incentives."

Thomas Schied took over the newly created position of Director Key Account Management in the Industry and Energy Markets division in the aream Group on March 1. "We are pleased to have Thomas Schied, a very experienced manager in the field of renewable energies, join the aream Group", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.
