Business Administration and Engineering: Electrical Power Engineering B.Sc. at RWTH Aachen University

"When the sun is shining and the wind blowing, the price of electricity is at rock bottom," states a RWTH engineer succinctly. Electricity is a special type of commodity: it has to be produced the minute it's needed. This moment determines the amount and price.
