aream Press release

Last February was not only a turbulent month in political terms, but the weather also went crazy at times. In Germany, freezing cold was followed by masses of sunshine and warmth. There was no rain in many places and the wind hardly blew at all. “Our green energy production plants were not spared from the capricious weather“, says Patrick Lemcke-Braselmann, Co-CEO of aream Group SE.

The hype is followed by a hangover: the market for renewable energy project developers is consolidating. Some smaller or overly specialised providers are experiencing difficulties, and many partially developed projects are currently up for sale. “Those who can act as buyers now and possess expertise across the entire value chain will benefit from the situation“, says Patrick Lemcke-Braselmann, Co-CEO of aream Group SE.

Expensive energy is considered one of the reasons for the crisis in German industry. “However, the discussion about high prices often lacks perspective and a long-term outlook“, criticises Patrick Lemcke-Braselmann, Co-CEO of aream Group SE. Industrial electricity costs less in 2024 than it did five years ago. Prices are likely to stabilise in the medium term - partly due to the expansion of solar energy, for example.

The new US President Donald Trump wants to significantly slow down climate protection efforts in the United States. It remains uncertain how effectively Trump will be able to implement his plans. “However, it would definitely be a mistake for Germany and Europe to follow the USA down this road“, comments Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.
