Within RWEST’s Commercial Analysis and Global Strategies department, strategic market analysis is responsible for all long-term analysis, modelling and price forecasts. Our insights cover forecasts and scenarios for inputs (macroeconomics, energy demand, (fossil) fuel and carbon markets, investment cost and technological change, emissions targets & regulation), long-term modelling and price forecasting for electricity and hydrogen.
RWE will benefit from de‑carbonisation, renewables expansion and technological change with further investments into future technologies such as Renewables, Electrolysers and (Hydrogen or CCS‑ready) gas generation.
