RWE

About us

Our purpose:
Our energy for a sustainable life

Where would the world be without electricity? We all need electricity for light and heat, for communication and mobility. Digitalisation, electrification and artificial intelligence are further increasing the demand for power. At the same time, society is faced with the major task of protecting the climate. To do this, we need reliable and clean electricity – and this is exactly what RWE generates. As one of the leading renewable energy companies, we are making our contribution.

Our goal:
net zero by 2040.

For us, net zero means: working on it every day. We are a team of over 20,000 people who work with passion and energy for a sustainable future. Specifically, this means that we at RWE are systematically reducing our greenhouse gas emissions – in line with the 1.5-degree reduction pathway. We are responsibly phasing out coal-fired power generation by 2030.

Our strategy:
We are shaping the energy world of tomorrow

Investing in the future brings sustainable rewards ecologically and economically. We are setting the pace and investing billions every year – above all in the expansion of offshore and onshore wind, solar energy and in combination with battery storage and flexible generation. Our portfolio is perfectly complemented by global energy trading.
