When starting a new job, sometimes give a well-meaning person a small gift or a good luck charm. Karin Thelen, the new managing director of Stadtwerke München (SWM) for the regional energy transition, also received something from the city council when she took office on July 1st. However, this is less a gift than a very concrete order: under the leadership of the coalition of Greens/Pink List and SPD/Volt, the committee adopted very ambitious goals for the expansion of solar energy in the city in a master plan at the end of June. There is a clear opinion in politics about who should play a leading role: Karin Thelen and her new department at the municipal utility.
