RWE AG
RWE AG is an energy company that makes and sells electricity. It owns power plants and renewable projects such as wind and solar farms, and it also trades electricity and related energy products in wholesale markets. In some markets it sells power and energy services to industrial customers, utilities, and other large buyers. The company earns money mainly by producing electricity and selling it under long-term contracts or into the market at prevailing prices. It also makes money from developing, building, and operating new power assets, especially renewable projects and flexible generation that can back up wind and solar when the weather changes. What makes RWE different is its role across the power value chain. It is not just a retailer that buys power and resells it, and it is not just a builder of wind farms. It is a large owner-operator of generation assets that helps keep electricity flowing by combining renewables, trading, and dispatchable plants in one business.

Strong start: RWE said Q1 2026 was a good start to the year, with adjusted EBITDA of EUR 1.6 billion, adjusted net income of EUR 608 million, and EPS of EUR 0.85, up 25% year on year.
Guidance confirmed: Management confirmed full-year 2026 guidance and said it is now even more confident of hitting targets, helped by a strong Q1 and the extra FlexGen compensation payment that was not included in the original outlook.
Offshore delivery: All Offshore Wind projects under construction remain on budget and on schedule, and Thor and Sofia both produced first power in Q1.
Trading weak, but outlook held: Supply & Trading posted a loss in Q1, but management said the full-year range is still valid and expects the segment to recover over the remaining quarters.
Capital and balance sheet: Net debt rose to EUR 15.6 billion after EUR 2.3 billion of net investment, but RWE still expects to end the year at its 3x leverage target.
