RWE Cuts 2025-2030 Investment Plans by €10 Billion

The energy giant adjusts its strategy, citing economic and geopolitical challenges, while maintaining its focus on renewable energy growth.

RWE plans to invest €35 billion from 2025 to 2030, down from the previously announced €45 billion, due to increased economic uncertainties.
The company attributes the reduction to regulatory uncertainties, supply chain issues, geopolitical risks, and rising interest rates.
RWE's operating profit in 2024 fell by over 25% to €5.7 billion, though the decline was less severe than analysts had forecasted.
In 2024, RWE achieved record-high renewable energy production of nearly 50 terawatt-hours, adding approximately 2 gigawatts of new capacity.
RWE operates renewable energy facilities primarily in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and the Netherlands, with plans to increase return requirements for new projects from 8% to 8.5%.
