To facilitate the energy transition in Germany, we need to expand and upgrade our grid infrastructure as the backbone of our energy system. Hence, Transmission System Operators like Amprion GmbH are planning significant investments to provide a future-proofed system.   As a shareholder in Amprion, one of the four TSOs in Germany, we fully support that. To secure the future funding of our 25.1% stake in Amprion, we’ve teamed up with Apollo Global Management, Inc., a global asset manager with significant experience in infrastructure investments.   Apollo will provide €3.2 billion in equity to a new joint venture that will hold our stake in Amprion. Together, we will gradually put these funds into Amprion to support its extensive investment programme. We are very excited to welcome Apollo as our new partner. This is a win-win for RWE, Apollo, Amprion and the energy transition.   📷: Amprion GmbH / Daniel Schumann

🔋 Salzgitter PowerCenter: Our Unified Cell Powers the Energy Transition Germany has installed over 2 million battery storage systems, with a total usable capacity of 22.1 GWh. But here’s the catch: more than 80% of this capacity comes from small residential systems, typically paired with rooftop solar. They provide green energy – but they don’t stabilize the grid. They don’t deliver on windless evenings. And they don’t stop feeding in when demand is already covered. ⚡ What we need now is grid-supporting storage – especially as renewable generation continues to expand rapidly. 💡 What if batteries didn’t just power electric vehicles, but also delivered green energy to the grid – precisely when and where it’s needed? With our battery-based energy storage solutions, this vision is becoming reality. We’re proud to announce the launch of our first large-scale stationary storage project – right here in our hometown of Salzgitter. Together with our partners Elli and TRICERA energy GmbH, we’re building the Salzgitter PowerCenter. 📌 Key facts: ▪️ 13 containers, each equipped with over 12,000 cells in our Unified Cell Format (UFC) ▪️ Power output: 20 MW ▪️ Storage capacity: 40 MWh ➡️ Enough to drive a VW ID.4 five times around the globe ▪️ Technology: LFP battery packs in PowerCo’s UFC ▪️ Go-live: December 2025 The result: our Unified Cell empowers e-mobility, supports the grid, and makes Salzgitter a landmark for the energy transition. ⚡

Our control systems are designed to simplify engineering work, making site design and commissioning easier and more efficient. In short, we make microgrids simple. In a world where energy systems are becoming increasingly complex, ComAp’s control solutions are built to integrate any energy source seamlessly, whether it is photovoltaics, wind turbines, battery storage, fuel cells, or traditional diesel and gas gen-sets. Each energy source is controlled individually yet operates as part of a unified system, exchanging the necessary data through ComAp’s power management platform. When it comes to site assets, compatibility is never an issue. Our controllers work with third-party gen-set controllers, a range of inverters, and BESS units, ensuring smooth integration across diverse technologies. This setup is agnostic to brand and energy source, which is key to scalability. It enables our customers to expand their microgrid at any stage of growth. Whether adding more PV panels or additional battery storage, ComAp controls will integrate new energy sources into the existing site seamlessly.
