aream Press release

In the first half of the year, more than half of Germany's electricity requirements were covered by renewable energy sources. A record. And what happened? Nothing! The grids remained stable, the lamps were on, the electricity came out of the socket. It turns out that the expressed fears of some market participants about incalculable electricity loads caused by green electricity are rather untenable assumptions.

Although the subsidies for solar systems are coming to an end, Germany is developing into a hotspot for solar investments. Falling prices for modules and rising prices for green electricity enable stable and subsidy-free yields, which moreover do not correlate with other markets. "Especially institutional investors are therefore increasingly looking for investment opportunities", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream Group.

More and more companies, municipalities and states are switching to green electricity. Guarantees of origin are used to prove that the electricity originates from renewable sources. A separate market has developed for these. Prices have fallen significantly in the wake of the pandemic. "For the future, however, an interesting market segment is emerging here", says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of aream group.

Düsseldorf, 08 July 2020 – According to figures now available, solar power production was on target in June 2020. The index of target achievement was 99 percent. This puts Germany ahead of Spain but behind Italy. Wind energy, on the other hand, failed to meet the target, but is still well above the average yield for the first half of the year due to the strong months at the beginning of the year.
