What we could learn from recent comments by RWE’s Chief Exec

In this week’s Gossage Gossip, our columnist shares some words of wisdom from the Chief Executive of RWE.

Words of great wisdom – number 94, this time from Markus Krebber, Chief Executive of RWE. 

In a recent statement he noted, “I would have a big question mark whether building new nuclear power stations is really a good strategy, because if you look at the cost overruns and the delays, I think purely a renewables-based energy system – including the necessary storage – is probably, in most regions, already today cheaper than new nuclear.” Quite so.
