30 by 2030 – Christoph Ostermann Recognised
We are very proud that our CEO and Co-Founder Christoph Ostermann has been recognised by WirtschaftsWoche as one of the individuals named to its “30 by 2030” list.
Christoph stands for entrepreneurial courage in the energy transition like few others. A true believer in the cause, he has been working in renewable energy for more than 20 years — from being an early pioneer in solar and battery storage and building sonnen GmbH to his current mission at green flexibility: establishing utility-scale battery storage as a backbone of a renewable energy system.
Looking back, he often jokes that in 2002, “the industry consisted of a few eco-minded people wearing Birkenstocks” — a small niche that was easy to dismiss. Today, it is clear that he was right. Despite resistance, he continued to pursue his vision of a sustainable energy transition.
He is deeply convinced of the role and impact of utility-scale battery storage: “Battery storage doesn’t need subsidies — it makes economic sense and is essential for a successful energy transition. And it is as versatile as a Swiss Army knife.”
What makes this recognition particularly meaningful to us:
Christoph leads the way — but he doesn’t do it alone. The ambition to make our energy system more resilient, sustainable and future-proof is shared by all our founders and the entire green flexibility team. Every day. In our projects, in dialogue with grid operators, municipalities and partners — and in turning plans into reality on the ground.
Christoph sets the pace. We are happy to follow — with full conviction and a shared ambition.
Let’s keep moving forward together. 💪
