aream Press release

The German government is stepping up the pace in photovoltaics. In the next few years, the expansion is to be multiplied, and more solar systems are to be installed on roofs in particular. Something similar is happening beyond Germany's borders: More and more countries are succeeding in adding capacity of more than one gigawatt per year. "The pace is welcome, but also necessary in terms of climate protection", commented Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. "To maintain and increase it, bottlenecks in storage and grids must be managed."

In the US, Joe Biden manages to pass a law that brings investment to the US on a very large scale. Fighting inflation is the official label, green energy and economic stimulus are in there, it costs billions and attracts billions in investment. "In Germany, on the other hand, there is discussion about an industrial electricity price that will bring exactly the opposite," says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group.

High and fluctuating energy prices drive up costs for companies and make planning difficult. This does not have to be the case. "Many entrepreneurs are not aware that the solution to their problems is right above their head, on the roof," says Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. Currently, there are still gigantic roof areas in Germany on which a solar power system could be installed. To tap this potential, aream is now cooperating with Vario green energy Concept GmbH, a developer of photovoltaic projects.

Germany is currently in a poor position in international competition. One major disadvantage in this country is the high cost of energy. To ease the burden on companies, politicians and economists are now calling for a subsidized industrial electricity price. "The idea is obvious and perhaps well-intentioned, but it goes in completely the wrong direction", commented Markus W. Voigt, CEO of the aream Group. "Because an electricity price subsidy would slow down the trend towards low-cost green electricity."
