German energy company RWE AG has decided to buy back as much as €1.5 billion ($1.6 billion) of shares as political risks in the US have complicated its investment plans.

The company’s plan to spend €55 billion on green technologies globally by 2030 may face delays as a result of reduced investments in 2025 and 2026, Chief Financial Officer Michael Müller told reporters.
