RWE Supply & Trading
Quick overview
The world around us is changing. And we are changing with it. Not only for our customers and partners, but above all for a more sustainable future we all want to live in. Because we all need electricity – children and adults, small and large businesses alike. Where there is electricity, there is light, warmth and communication, there is production, medical care and mobility. Electricity is life.
For more than 125 years, RWE has been supplying people and businesses with reliable electricity – around the clock. As one of the world’s leading producers of renewable energy, we aim to be climate-neutral by 2040 and enable a sustainable life for everyone. To achieve this, we are investing heavily in expanding our renewable generation capacity. With a broad portfolio that also includes flexible conventional energy, we ensure clean, secure and affordable electricity.
To reach these ambitious goals, we need people who are ready to walk this path with us. Are you in?
Our energy has impact. Use yours for good.
