RWE’s Post

It’s a first! We have been granted exclusive seabed rights for an offshore development project close to the Kent Islands in the Bass Strait, Australia’s first designated offshore wind zone. An exciting development which marks our entry into the country's offshore wind market. The lease we’ve been awarded can potentially host a wind farm with a capacity of up to 2 gigawatts. This would allow us to power the equivalent of up to 1.6 million Australian homes with green electricity. Subject to the planning and approvals process, secured offtake as well as grid connection, commissioning is expected in the first half of the 2030s.

Standing in awe of a turbine, a young Cornelia (Conny) thought, "Wow! I want to be part of this!" – the thrill of massive machines generating electricity sparked a dream.⚡️ At RWE, we celebrate mothers like Conny who chase those dreams and develop their leadership skills. Embracing the challenges of motherhood, Conny has thrived in her career thanks to our flexible work arrangements.  That initial spark propelled her to join the RWE graduate program at 27. From there, she explored different paths in Investor Relations and Consulting before finding her perfect fit in Renewables.  Read her story: https://lnkd.in/etabW7yX    #TeamRWE #PowerLooksGoodOnYou #OurEnergyHasImpact 

Big news for hydrogen in Germany! We are excited to share that two of our large #hydrogen projects have been granted a total of over 619 million euros in funding by the German and state governments. The projects are our electrolyser plant for generating green hydrogen in Lingen and our hydrogen storage project in Gronau-Epe.   Additionally, an electrolyser project in Rostock, in which we are participating, has been granted 199 million euros.   This marks a milestone on the way towards industrial-scale hydrogen projects. We have laid the groundwork, now it’s time to get going.

A solar farm from sunrise to sunset – a constant shining light in the energy transition. We are already a major player in solar, operating plants all over the world, including in the U.S., Australia, and Germany. By 2030 we intend to grow our solar capacity to 16 GW. We're on a sunny journey – one solar farm at a time.

Batteries 🤝 Renewables expansion! On our battery projects, teamwork truly makes the dream work! Experts from various RWE operating companies combine their skills along the entire project chain to bring them to life. The battery development team handles planning, then the project management team leads construction. Once operational, the battery operation and maintenance team ensures reliability. Finally, our colleagues from Supply & Trading market our powerful battery solutions. Christian Jürgen Müller Christoph Kielhorn, Oliver Ghali, Michael Garasinski, Dr.-Ing. Lisa Willenberg 

We've set our sights on the seas, as we intend to heavily expand our offshore wind energy portfolio in the coming years. We have committed to a goal to increase our offshore wind capacity to 10 GW by 2030 - a giant feat that in return will allow us to play our part in the offshore wind expansion worldwide.

We're going big: Our UK offshore wind farm Sofia, will be one of the largest wind farms in the world and a real biggie in terms of numbers. Once completed, 100 turbines will be up and running, each standing 252 meters tall! And what's more, Sofia will be located 195 km off the UK coast on a site that is 593 square kilometres in area. It will boast a capacity of 1.4 gigawatts and will be capable of powering up to 1.2 million UK homes. Commissioning is planned for 2026.

Since 2022, the former cooling pond at our Amercentrale power plant in the Netherlands has been home to our first floating solar project worldwide. Its 13,400 panels, covering 3.8 hectares, can power the equivalent of more than 1,500 Dutch homes annually with green electricity. A testament to our ambition to drive forward the energy transition in an innovative way!
