External revenue earned by the RWE Group in 2009 is anticipated to surpass last year’s level. The growth in revenue will be largely driven by electricity price increases, with which we pass through higher procurement costs to our customers. Furthermore, we expect to see a continued rise in electricity generated in accordance with the Renewable Energy Act (EEG) fed into our German grid. In contrast, realized oil and gas prices are likely to be lower than in 2008.
