Overview
- EnBW, which reported results Wednesday, invested a record €7.6 billion in 2025 to expand renewables and grids as its consolidated profit fell to about €450 million.
- The utility added roughly 800 megawatts of capacity last year, lifting renewables to about two‑thirds of its own output, and it guides to €4.6–5.1 billion in adjusted EBITDA this year.
- FAZ highlighted EnBW CEO Georg Stamatelopoulos backing Minister Katherina Reiche’s plan to sync new projects with grid build‑out, while other outlets focused on sector pushback and financing fears.
- After Thursday’s joint statement by renewable groups, associations warned a proposed redispatch rule could create areas where new wind and solar lose curtailment payments and cannot secure loans.
- The groups also opposed ending support for systems under 25 kW, saying rooftop owners and about 7,000 small hydropower operators would face higher risks, and they presented a 26‑point alternative.
