RWE said it would invest 30% more than planned ($5.17bn) in green technologies in 2022 – after already raising its guidance for the full year - as the German utility reported a strong growth in first half financial figures.

The company already has invested about €2bn during the first half in its green portfolio, adding some 1.2GW in fresh wind, solar and battery system capacity, and now expects to spend more than €5bn for the full year.
