RWE - an attractive investment
RWE is one of Europe’s five leading electricity and gas companies. Through our expertise in oil, gas and lignite production, the construction and operation of conventional and renewables-based power plants, commodities trading as well as electricity and gas transmission and sales, we cover the entire energy value chain. Some 72,000 employees supply almost 17 million customers with electricity and nearly 8 million customers with gas via our fully consolidated companies. In fiscal 2011, we recorded just below €52 billion in revenue.
Europe is our market: RWE is the No. 1 power producer in Germany, No. 2 in the Netherlands, and No. 3 in the UK. We continuously expand our position in Central Eastern and South Eastern Europe.
Our power plant portfolio and our investment programme for building efficient, environmentally friendly and flexible generation capacity are the main basis for growing earnings in the future. We invest billions in this every year. Meanwhile, we are one of Europe’s biggest investors in offshore wind farms. Our leading position in energy trading helps us make optimal use of our power plants on the market. We react to changing customer needs by offering new products for homes, commerce and industry. Climate protection and energy efficiency are becoming increasingly important for our customers, too.
We operate in a dynamic market environment that is characterised by highly volatile prices, changing structures, ambitious climate protection goals and increasing political and regulatory intervention. Our response is a three-dimensional corporate strategy: RWE is becoming more sustainable, more international, and more robust.
