Engineering companies believe Energiewende good for business

German Engineering Federation (VDMA)

A majority of engineering companies believe the Energiewende is good for their own business and good for Germany as a business location, according to a poll by the German Engineering Federation (VDMA). Approval rates rose considerably last year, with 63 percent of companies saying the energy transition already had a positive impact on their business, and 73 percent saying it will have a positive impact in the future. But companies remained unhappy with the government: 80 percent said they were dissatisfied with the energy transition's current political implementation, according to the survey.
