RWE: A Major Coal Producer Makes a Big Bet On Clean Energy

Morgan Stanley sits down with Markus Krebber, CEO of Germany’s RWE, to talk about how the company has transformed from one of the world’s largest brown coal producers to a leader in the global transition to clean energy.

    

Germany’s RWE is a fascinating case study in the global energy transition. The multi-national energy company is reinventing itself from one of the world’s top coal producers to a leader in clean energy.  

During this episode of Exceptional Leaders / Exceptional Ideas, Rob Pulleyn, head of Morgan Stanley Research’s Utilities & Clean Energy team, talks with RWE CEO Markus Krebber about the advantages of coming in as an outsider, an early bet the company made on carbon credits, and meeting immediate energy needs while making real strides toward a green future.
