## About RWE

VC Fund · Essen, Germany

RWE has reliably supplied people and companies with electricity for more than 120 years – night and day. Many of us take electricity for granted. As well as the fact that it comes out of our sockets at any time. And we can, because power generators like RWE make sure that it does – with clean, secure and affordable electricity.
