Uniper is shaping the energy transition with solar and wind power

-

The climate change and the recent global energy crises underscore the urgent need to restructure the energy industry. The demand for green electricity is growing in line with the energy transition, as industrial processes, heat generation and transportation are increasingly being electrified. To achieve both key objectives of attaining climate protection goals and becoming independent of fossil fuel imports, the share of renewable energies in gross electricity consumption needs to increase drastically across the globe.
