A&E Gütermann managing director Jürgen Drescher spoke about the topic in an interview with Südwestrundfunk (SWR). Published on: 03.11.2021 Not only private households in Germany complain about the massive increase in the price of electricity. In an international comparison, German industry has the highest prices and the exploding energy costs are putting a strain on the economy - in particular, small and medium-sized companies and energy-intensive industrial companies are coming under increasing pressure. A&E Gütermann with its German production site in Gutach im Breisgau is also affected. Managing director Jürgen Drescher spoke about the topic in an interview with Südwestrundfunk (SWR). The increase in prices will result in additional costs of around 900,000 to one million euros, according to Drescher. The reasons for the high electricity prices are, among other things, the massive rise in CO2 prices, the lack of network expansion and the energy transition. The ever increasing energy costs have a negative impact on the profitability of energy-intensive production in Germany. This jeopardizes competitiveness and is also increasingly questioning Germany as a production location, Drescher continues, addressing a core problem in German energy policy.
