Innovations

The energy supply of the future is to be climate-friendly, efficient and intelligent. This is the goal we are pursuing with our partners in 200 projects covering the whole value chain from the production of raw materials to power generation, distribution, and use.

To meet the demand for a reliable and affordable power supply while at the same time protecting the climate, we are having to take action on several fronts at once. We are endeavouring to maximise the efficiency of our generation portfolio while minimising our CO₂ emissions, we are tapping new energy sources, we are making power distribution more flexible and intelligent, we are developing practicable energy storage solutions, we are facilitating the use of electric vehicles and we are using energy more efficiently.

Progress

We have set up a Group-wide innovation management system to coordinate all our various research and development (R&D) activities. This means that all companies engaged in research and development in the RWE Group are now covered by standardised processes such as R&D planning and reporting.
