Market Survey: Industrial managers call for more green power

For Germany as a business location, the rapid expansion of renewable energies is critical for the future. This is the conclusion of a survey conducted by the initiative „The Transatlantic Sun&Wind Belt“ together with the opinion research institute Kantar. From October to December 2022, around 250 decision-makers from international corporations and large SMEs were surveyed.
