Markus Krebber, head of Germany's largest electricity producer RWE, talks in the podcast about the challenges of the energy transition, the importance of security of supply and the transformation of the company. On November 6, Germany experienced a so-called dark doldrums: there was hardly any wind and the sun hardly shone. So the wind turbines stood still and the solar panels produced no electricity. A stress test for the German electricity supply and the energy transition. Could Germany's return to nuclear energy prevent feared supply bottlenecks? Handelsblatt editor-in-chief Sebastian Matthes discusses this with RWE boss Markus Krebber in this podcast episode. Instead, the CEO of Germany's largest electricity producer is demanding that the operators of power plants, battery storage systems or other sustainable energy sources be paid for keeping capacities available - regardless of whether they are used or not. Why Krebber compares this model to the fire brigade and what he means by this, you can hear in this episode of Handelsblatt Disrupt.
