The Volksbank Braunschweig Wolfsburg (Brawo) is ending its Green Energy business at the end of the year. The decision was made after careful examination of the economic prospects, and despite efforts to find a buyer, none was found. 60 employees will be affected, with all being offered support in line with legal, collective bargaining, and contractual agreements. The bank is undergoing a major restructuring due to heavy losses, mainly from real estate deals, and is being supported by the BVR with up to 723 million Euros.
