Initiative „Five minutes to midnight“: save the energy revolution

Employees and the management of VENSYS Energy AG joined the nationwide protest against amending the Renewable Energies Act (EEG) on 25 May 2016.

The planned cap on the expansion of renewable energy systems does not only endanger existing climate targets, it also severely jeopardizes the growth potential of a globally successful and innovative branch of the German economy.

A broad alliance of companies involved in renewable energy supported by the trade union IG Metall and the German Farmers´ Association therefore actively promotes the speedy expansion of renewable energies to protect the more than 30,000 jobs in 210 companies. They call on policymakers to preserve the technological leadership and high export level of corporate Germany and also expand the creation of value in rural areas.
