Code Green: RWE's Green Tech Challenge

As part of #TeamRWE, Digital Solutions enables RWE Renewables' sustainable growth by designing, developing and managing scalable, state of the art software and platforms tailored to our business processes and user needs.

At RWE we embrace a Growing Green strategy, underpinned by our purpose - Our Energy for a Sustainable Life -. Ensuring our application portfolio and infra- structure scales in a sustainable manner is therefore crucial for us.

We are deeply committed to driving positive change, not just in the physical world, but also in the digital landscape. We strive for optimal utilization of our resources and energy, continuously seeking opportunities to enhance the sustainability of our development processes and hosting environments. This approach not only allows us to reduce costs but also enables us to fulfil our corporate social responsibility and achieve our environmental goals.

If you want to share general information about this project, please find our OnePager here.

In the RWE Challenge, all students and young professionals are welcome – regardless of their field of study.

Whether it's computer- or data science, engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, natural sciences, innovation, or entrepreneurship – we are seeking diverse perspectives to tackle the challenges of green IT in the energy sector.

Your expertise and fresh ideas can make a real difference. Seize the opportunity to shape the future in the energy industry!

For submission, simply describe your idea or approach in the Application Template and upload it via our platform. It doesn't have to be a fully elaborated concept with a concrete implementation strategy. Visualizing your approach (e.g., a sketch, visual designs, or a prototype) is advantageous - it should be developed as best as possible but appropriate for the available time.

Your participation is not binding until you submit the form, and the qualification phase ends. You can always withdraw your submission before the deadline. Once you have uploaded your submission and you want to take part, please consider the timeline and be aware that you should be able to participate in every further step.

You retain the rights to your idea. RWE aims to implement it directly following the challenge and continue its internal development. You will be directly involved in the implementation of your idea. Details regarding the execution of the solution will be discussed after the completion of the challenge.
