“Nowhere else in Germany is the challenge to reconcile industry and climate protection bigger than in North Rhine-Westphalia. And this is also true for the resulting opportunities. In North Rhine-Westphalia, we can drive a new industrial revolution that will open up new prospects for the state as well as industry. This does require key decisions to be made at state-level now, in order to accelerate the expansion of renewables, flexible backup capacities and hydrogen. We support this and are focusing particularly on North Rhine-Westphalia in our investment and growth strategy. By 2030, we want to invest around 4 billion euros gross in the state.”
