  • Final Statements 2012 RWE Innogy Gmbh
    Management Report of RWE Innogy GmbH for the Period Ended 31 December 2012 Review of Operations 1. Business and economic environment 1.1. Object of the company and positioning within the RWE Group's structure RWE Innogy GmbH ("RWE Innogy" or "Company") is a subsidiary wholly owned by RWE Aktiengesellschaft (RWE AG) which pools the expertise of the RWE Group's power plants in the field of renewables. To this end, the Company holds approximately 60 investments in Germany, the rest of Europe and the USA, in particular including RWE Innogy Windpower Hannover GmbH (Germany), RWE Innogy (UK) Ltd. (UK), RWE Renewables Polska Sp. z o.o. (Poland), RWE Innogy Italia S.p.A. (Italy), Georgia Biomass Holding LLC (USA) and RWE Innogy AERSA S.A.U. (Spain), which operate as management companies in their respective countries. In order to achieve the prescribed goal of increasing the share of the RWE Group's electricity generation capacity accounted for by renewables, RWE Innogy and its joint ventures plan, build and operate plants which produce electricity primarily from renewables in Germany and the rest of Europe. One of the focal points of these activities are onshore and offshore wind farm projects. However, the Company is also active in the fields of hydroelectric power and biomass. Furthermore, it provides assistance in developing forward-looking technologies. For instance, RWE Innogy plans and operates biogas facilities as well as solar power stations either directly or via its joint ventures while providing support to innovative enterprises in their startup and growth phases via a venture capital firm.

  • Facts & Figures
    RWE INNOGY FACTS & FIGURES – OFFSHORE WIND & GWYNT Y MÔR OFFSHORE WIND FARM Strong growth off the coast RWE Innogy is a market leader in the development, construction and operation of offshore wind farms in Europe. We have already gained significant experience through the delivery and operation of our existing wind farms – North Hoyle and Rhyl Flats off the Welsh coast, and Thornton Bank off the Belgian coast. Our first German project – Nordsee Ost – is due to start construction next year, some 22 miles off the island of Helgoland. In addition, we aim to be using our own construction vessels from 2011 onwards. RWE Innogy has major plans for the future for offshore development and for helping tackle climate change through its pipeline offshore wind portfolio . A list of current projects: RWE Innogy’s Offshore Wind Projects In operation: North Hoyle 1) (UK/60 MW) Dogger Bank 5) (9.000 MW) Rhyl Flats (UK/90 MW) Triton Knoll (1.200 MW) Thornton Bank 2) (Belgium/30 MW) North Hoyle 1) (60 MW) Nordsee Ost (295 MW) Under construction: Innogy Nordsee 1 Greater Gabbard 3) (UK/504 MW) Gwynt y Môr 4) (576 MW) (about 1.000 MW) Investment/construction decision granted: Rhyl Flats (90 MW) Tromp Binnen (300 MW) Nordsee Ost (Germany/295 MW) Atlantic Array (1.500 MW) 4) Gwynt y Môr (UK/576 MW) Thornton Bank 2) (30 MW) 3) Project pipeline: Greater Gabbard (504 MW) Thornton Bank 2 & 3 (Belgium/295 MW) Galloper 3) (500 MW) Innogy Nordsee 1 (Germany/approx. 1,000 MW) Projects in operation or under construction Triton Knoll (UK/1,200 MW) Projects consented or in development 3) Galloper (UK/500 MW) 1) North Hoyle offshore windfarm (60 MW) is owned by Zephyr Investments Ltd.

  • Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt CEO of RWE Innogy Rhyl Flats Inauguration, 2 December 2009
    Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt CEO of RWE Innogy Rhyl Flats inauguration, 2 December 2009 Check against delivery! Ladies and Gentlemen, The inauguration of a big renewable power plant is always a great occasion for me. It represents the successful culmination of years of work by hundreds of people. We have tested, calculated, approved and made the sea accessible, we have laid cables, erected turbines, observed, monitored and plenty more besides. Most of you, ladies and gentlemen, have been involved. Each one of you, in your own way, has made an important contribution to the success of this wind farm. I think that is well worth celebrating. Let me therefore say a big thank you to everyone who very literally went against wind and tide to support, develop and build this wind farm. This year I will have the pleasure of inaugurating several power plants for RWE Innogy. As a renewable energy company, we are making a major contribution to reducing CO2 in the RWE portfolio when we open each new plant – and we are doing so across the whole of Europe. It is a satisfying task that provides our whole team with the tailwind to move forward at even greater speed. Only a few weeks ago we opened our first Polish onshore wind farm in Masuria. Another wind farm is following on the Atlantic coast of northern 1 France. We are also celebrating the expansion of a hydroelectric plant on the German-Swiss border – I will be travelling there the day after tomorrow. A biomass power plant will be completed shortly in Germany.
