RWE Powers Up UK Solar Projects: 330MW Underway
Germany-based clean energy company RWE has started construction on seven solar projects in the UK, totaling 330MW of new clean electricity capacity. These projects are the first to be built from RWE's acquisition of JBM Solar, making it one of the largest solar developers in the UK. The projects include a mix of solar and battery storage installations, with the first site expected to be operational by the end of 2024.RWE's CEO Katja Wünschel highlighted the importance of these projects in helping the UK achieve its net-zero targets by increasing solar capacity and battery storage. Once fully operational, the sites are expected to reduce UK carbon emissions by 8 million tonnes over their lifetime and provide electricity for over 140,000 homes. RWE is working with Ethical Power to drive the decarbonization of the UK's energy systems and showcase the potential of clean energy technologies.
How will RWE's new solar projects in the UK impact carbon emissions?
The new solar projects in the UK by RWE are expected to reduce UK carbon emissions by 8 million tonnes over their lifetime.
The projects will provide clean electricity for over 140,000 homes, helping to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
RWE's focus on increasing solar capacity and battery storage will contribute to the UK's efforts to achieve its net-zero targets and transition to a more sustainable energy system.
By working with Ethical Power, RWE is showcasing the potential of clean energy technologies and driving the decarbonization of the UK's energy systems.
The construction of these solar projects marks RWE's commitment to expanding its renewable energy portfolio and supporting the global transition to a low-carbon economy.

RWE extends Markus Krebber’s CEO mandate to 2031
Germany’s RWE AG has moved early to secure leadership continuity, renewing chief executive Markus Krebber’s contract for another five years. His current term, due to expire in mid-2026, will now run until 30 June 2031.
Krebber, 51, joined the group in 2012, became CFO in 2016 and took the helm in 2021, guiding the utility through the energy-supply crunch triggered by Russia’s war in Ukraine and accelerating its pivot from coal to renewables.
Supervisory-board chair Frank Appel praised Krebber’s “steady hand” during geopolitical turmoil and said the extension will let RWE “drive the energy transition forward with determination.” Krebber himself called the coming decade “the age of electrification and artificial intelligence,” framing it as fertile ground for profitable, sustainable growth.
Momentum on the ground
The leadership decision lands amid a flurry of project milestones logged just last week:
Project
Location
Capacity
Status
Langford Solar Farm
Devon, UK
35 MW (AC) solar + 35 MW BESS
First RWE solar plant to reach operation in the UK, energised 2 July 2025
Golticlay Onshore Wind Farm
Caithness, Scotland
62.7 MW
Construction officially under way, 3 July 2025
Bergheim / Wiedenfelder Höhe (repowering)
North Rhine-Westphalia, DE
+17.1 MW (3 new turbines)
Civil works started; commissioning slated for mid-2026
These builds slot into RWE’s €35-billion 2025-30 investment plan, which targets 65 GW of installed green capacity by the end of the decade. Analysts argue that tying Krebber to RWE for the long haul should reassure investors and lenders as the company scales up in offshore wind, hydrogen and battery storage.
