RWE boss Markus Krebber is still calm despite the nationwide lower gas storage stands. “These values are low for the season, but they are not yet a reason to worry,” said Krebber of the Rheinische Post. “The RWE memory are 91 percent filled, the filling levels are also high in other European countries. That is enough for a normal winter.” Overall, 73 percent of the stores in Germany are filled.
In his opinion, gas prices at the wholesale market should remain stable at around 30 euros per megawatt hour (MWh). According to the record prices in 2022 of over 300 euros per MWh, this was again a normal level, which is still over the prices before the Energy crisis lie.
Krebber said to a possible commissioning of the North Stream Pipelines: “First Russia has to stop the attacks, there must be a reliable peace and security guarantees for Ukraine before economic issues are in the end.” This is a political question in the end. ”
RWE is involved in the energy group E.ON, E.ON, in turn, on Nord Stream 1st Saxon Prime Minister Kretschmer demands talks with Russia to commission the pipeline.
The Federal Minister of Economics Katherina Reiche asked Krebber to quickly write out new gas power plants. “With a view to security of supply, we need gas power plants if the wind does not blow and the sun does not shine. We quickly expect clarity how the federal government wants to incentive to build,” he told the newspaper. “Ideally, he writes down 10 gigawatts immediately – in a competitive process where the cheapest provider is awarded the contract.”
The cost of this security of supply is likely to be around 0.2 cents per kilowatt hour, which would be less than one percent of the electricity price.
“We now have to get into construction quickly – also to enable coal phase -out,” said the RWE boss.
