aream Press release

After the EU just agreed on a partial embargo for Russian oil, renewable energies showed in the past month that they consistently contribute their share to the energy supply. This year, May brought Germany plenty of sunshine: High air pressure made for a proverbial "merry month" and a very good solar power yield.

The current rapidly rising interest rates also affect the calculation of solar and wind parks. While new construction projects are calculated with the new interest rates but also higher yields, existing projects can benefit twice. "This normalization of the interest rate level goes hand in hand with a rising electricity price", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group. "Only those who have not secured the low interest rates until the end of the financing term will have problems."

Around the world, new plants for generating green electricity are being built at record pace. For project developers and investors alike this has both advantages and disadvantages: "On the one hand, the scarcity is driving up prices for components and services", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. "On the other hand, investors with investments in the entire value chain can rejoice."

Against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine, the EU is examining whether Europe's energy supply can be switched more quickly to wind and solar energy. The aim is to rapidly reduce dependence on Russian gas and at the same time accelerate climate protection. Meanwhile, April brought decent sun and wind, bolstering renewable energy yields. "In the case of wind, it was possible to catch up with the target values", explains Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.
