The President was very interested in learning about our journey towards 100% sustainability in 2030 and the initiatives and alternative solutions that Sev is working with.

"This is very impressive and we can learn from you", said von der Leyen and added that the last two years have taught us the importance of fighting climate change as well as the importance of energy independency.

In her press release, the President stated:

"Of course, a very important topic for us is the fight against climate change. You have impressive resources for wind and hydropower, and I saw it today as we were visiting the wind park and seeing the whole concept of renewable energy.

So, I am not only deeply impressed but I am absolutely sure that you will reach your goal of sourcing all your land-based electricity from sustainable supplies by 2030.

This is what you presented today, in the morning, and it was amazing to see the strategic approach to really reach the goal for renewable energy by 2030. On that topic, we can have very fruitful exchanges of best practices be it your experience and our experience on energy efficiency, electrification and storage, of course this is always a big topic.

So the overall big topic is the fight against climate change where we want to join forces and where a lot of business opportunities are waiting to be developed."
