In May, average wind levels finally returned to Germany. This followed several months of calm weather, which had significantly reduced wind turbine output. Nevertheless, the expansion of turbines is continuing and licences are being granted more quickly. “However, there are still some efficiency reserves that need to be realised“, says Patrick Lemcke-Braselmann, Co-CEO of aream Group SE.

A new orientation strategy is becoming increasingly important in the discussion about the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of photovoltaic systems: more and more project planners and operators are discussing an east-west orientation for their solar panels - as opposed to the previously dominant south-facing orientation. “The reason for this is a change in the price structure on the electricity market“, comments Patrick Lemcke-Braselmann, Co-CEO of aream Group SE.

The European photovoltaic association, Solarpower Europe, expects a global expansion of 655 gigawatts of solar capacity this year - but the figure could rise to 774 gigawatts. The prerequisite for this, however, is that the trade war emanating from the USA does not escalate further. “The forecasts show the risk that US tariff policy poses to climate protection and the global energy transition“, comments Patrick Lemcke-Braselmann, Co-CEO of aream Group SE.

Der im Koalitionsvertrag 2025 verankerte Investitionsfonds für Energieinfrastruktur könnte sich als starker Motor für die deutsche Energiewende erweisen. Er wird viele Milliarden mobilisieren und private Investitionsrisiken abfedern. „Jetzt heißt es, genaues Augenmerk auf die konkrete Gestaltung des Fonds zu legen – und darauf zu achten, keine unnötigen bürokratischen Hürden zu errichten“, erklärt Patrick Lemcke-Braselmann, Co-CEO der aream Group SE.
