RWE last week cut its investment programme by €10bn by 2030 which Elliott said was "an important first step towards more disciplined capital allocation"
"However, we share the market's disappointment with the lack of clarity regarding the company's commitment to enhance shareholder returns," it said in a statement.
"Given the announced capex reduction and RWE's persistent undervaluation, we believe there is a compelling opportunity to significantly increase and accelerate the ongoing share buyback programme."
