innogy SE is one of the leading European energy companies. With its three business areas of Renewables, Grid & Infrastructure as well as Retail, it addresses the requirements of a modern, decarbonised, decentralised and digital energy world. The focus of innogy SE’s activities is on offering existing and potential customers innovative and sustainable products and services which enable them to use energy more efficiently and improve their quality of life. In renewable power generation, the company is also active in other regions, e.g. Spain and Italy. The new subsidiary of RWE AG started operations on 1 April 2016. On 29 June 2016, the name of the European stock company was announced: innogy. The formal change of name took place on 1 October 2016 and since 7 October 2016 the company is listed on the stock market.
In spite of difficult framework conditions, RWE AG is making an important contribution towards stabilising the European energy system. Conventional power generation will continue to be required as a partner to renewables in the future. Furthermore, it can also profit from increasing wholesale prices. In addition, we balance out the massive fluctuations in renewable generation by engaging in ongoing trading activities.
