Renewable energies have been built up with great financial and political support. Over the years, several hundred billion euros have flowed in through the EEG levy alone, making green electricity competitive. Now, the rising electricity prices are causing extraordinarily high returns on old, subsidised plants. To be fair, these additional returns should either be used to relieve the burden on consumers or, even better, to further restructure the energy industry. Because this is the "fairest" solution in the long run.

On 1 August 2022, Jörn Preuth took over the management of AREAM Advisory GmbH alongside the previous CEO Christian Schnaidt. Meanwhile, Andreas Ehrbar will take over Christian Schnaidt's previous role as COO of aream GmbH. “We have thus been able to gain two experienced specialists for our business”, says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.

The summer is currently bringing good returns to the German solar industry. The share of renewables in electricity consumption is rising. At the same time, however, there is much to be done. For example, the expansion of wind energy remains insufficient. "In order to achieve their own goals, politicians need to speed up approval procedures in particular", explains Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.

A hot summer with lots of sun may be optimal vacation weather. But photovoltaic systems tend to like it a bit cooler with slightly overcast skies. "The efficiency of the panels drops when they get too hot", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group. "However, one type of power generation in particular suffers even more."
