The Client
RWE is a leading German energy company with a strong focus on renewables, owning and operating 3.6 GW of wind, solar, and hydropower. The company plans to double the capacity of its clean energy portfolio in Europe, with 7.7 GW of assets under construction or in the development pipeline.
As of 2019, RWE’s renewables portfolio includes:
- 3.6 GW in operation
- 6.3 GW in development pipeline
- 1.4 GW under construction
- 770 MW seeking PPAs
The Challenge
The price of renewable energy is constantly changing as greater capacity is installed in a market, and subsidies come in or out of play. In order to validate its renewable sales strategy, RWE required clear and up-to-date insights into the current market pricing of clean energy.
