Hydrogen could be the energy carrier of the future. A lot of money is currently flowing into technical feasibility studies, studies, and research projects. “But a new energy carrier will only really get a boost when private money supplements state funding”, says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. “But at present, hydrogen cannot yet be packaged into profitable business models.”

More climate protection also means more electricity demand. This is clearly illustrated, for example, by the coalition agreement signed today in Rhineland-Palatinate, in which the traffic light parties have set themselves ambitious climate targets. Earlier, the green-conservative alliance in Baden-Württemberg adopted its new coalition agreement with similarly ambitious targets. “This will have a considerable impact on the electricity markets”, says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group. “Only renewable energy sources can meet the additional demand, which may lead to a temporary increase in electricity prices.”

Green electricity production in April 2021 was slightly above expectations. Wind generated 102 percent of the planned electricity, solar 101 percent. “The lower solar yield in Spain in particular dragged the figures down”, says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.

On April 1, 2021, Elke Hanel joined the aream Group as an additional managing director. She is responsible for project development, with a focus on photovoltaics, at the company, which specializes in renewable energies.
