RWE, under the leadership of CEO Markus Krebber, is redirecting its investment focus towards share buybacks totaling up to 1.5 billion euros. This strategic move comes as the company faces delays in its US offshore wind projects and the slower than anticipated progress in the hydrogen economy in Europe. In the first nine months of 2024, RWE continued to implement its 'Growing Green' strategy by investing 6.9 billion euros in expanding its renewable energy portfolio, primarily in offshore wind projects in the North Sea and the construction of new solar and wind farms in Europe and the US. Despite challenges, RWE reported a positive financial performance with a record level of green electricity production at 36 terawatt hours, marking a 14% increase from the previous year, and a significant reduction of CO2 emissions by 21%. Adjusted EBITDA for the period reached 4.0 billion euros, with adjusted net income at 1.6 billion euros. Notably, the Offshore Wind and Onshore Wind/Solar segments saw increased earnings, while the Flexible Generation and Supply & Trading segments experienced a decline. Looking ahead, RWE expects slightly improved earnings for 2024, with a shift towards the middle of the forecast range due to enhanced prospects in the Flexible Generation and Supply & Trading segments. The company's commitment to clean electricity generation remains unwavering, with continued investments in Europe and the US to drive the energy transition.
