Power supply and data center growth
Goldman Sachs' conviction list update highlights RWE among European utilities expected to benefit from rising electricity demand from data centers, with the bank pointing to the role of grid investments and long-duration power contracts in underpinning earnings visibility.
A recent thematic analysis of how data centers are reshaping power systems notes that listed utilities able to offer reliable, large-scale power through long-dated, premium-priced contracts are still in the early stages of a valuation re-rating, a trend that supports the broader investment case for companies such as RWE that are active in renewables and grid infrastructure. This view is summarized in an investor insight on data centers and power systems.
Representative product: renewable power for large customers
RWE is a major European electricity generator and renewable energy provider, with a focus on supplying power from wind, solar and other low-carbon sources to industrial and commercial customers, including operators of energy-intensive facilities such as data centers.
RWE stock price context
With RWE.DE closing at 58.58 EUR on September 1, 2026 as cited in Goldman Sachs' stock-picks summary, the shares are trading close to their recent range highs, which makes the 75.00 EUR target an indicator of potential upside if the expected growth in grid spending and data center-related power demand materializes.
