Activists have entered RWE's site at the Eemshaven power plant uninvited to demonstrate. This is not allowed. RWE recognises the right to demonstrate but does not want this to take place on the company premises because it is life-threatening. The protesters have therefore been asked to leave the site and to continue the demonstration outside the site. The activists have so far not complied. The police are at the scene and have addressed the activists on this matter. The activists have been requested both verbally and in writing to leave the site. RWE is acting according to protocol and cooperating with the municipality and the police in this situation. The company hopes that the activists will consider their own safety, listen to the request and leave the site peacefully.

Update 29-03-2024 12:00pm

RWE is happy to report that the activists left the company premises voluntarily and peacefully, i.e. without police deployment. Moreover, the company is relieved that there were no injuries or deaths, as the activists were on the coal mountain, among other things, and this can create life-threatening situations. An assessment has taken place and the police have left the site. RWE thanks the municipality and police for their efforts and hopes that any future demonstrations will take place outside the company premises from now on due to safety concerns.
