Stadtwerke München (SWM) has achieved notable success in expanding renewable energy in recent years. Nevertheless, the municipal utility did not fully reach its self-set green electricity target, as reported in a commentary by the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
The commentary argues that SWM should communicate the missed target openly and honestly. Especially in times when trust in energy suppliers and political institutions is particularly important, an unvarnished account of its performance could strengthen the company’s credibility.
Stadtwerke München is considered one of the pioneers among German municipal utilities in expanding renewable energy. The commentary emphasizes that the progress made is considerable – but an honest assessment is the foundation for long-term trust among Munich residents.
