Sven Utermöhlen, CEO RWE Offshore Wind: “Our world is facing two environmental crises that are intrinsically linked: biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation are accelerating climate change, while at the same time climate change itself is increasing the stresses on our natural systems and biodiversity. To tackle these together, the acceleration of renewable energy production is of utmost importance—but in an environmentally friendly manner. As a global leading player in offshore wind, we are fully aware of the responsibility that comes with ensuring an effective balance. And we know that a healthy coexistence of renewable energy production and nature requires a coordinated effort, like emphasizing the importance of conducting site-specific Environmental Impact Assessments to ensure an environmentally sound expansion of offshore wind. I am therefore very pleased that RWE has become a full member of the Offshore Coalition for Energy and Nature. This is a great opportunity for RWE, both to contribute our knowledge and expertise and to learn from others, paving the best way forward, together.”
