Decentralised energy generation facilities are set to play a major role in the energy systems of the future.

We are developing innovative energy technologies within
the framework of prestigious research projects. In practical trials running over two years, for example, we have successfully tested the day-to-day viability of house energy plants powered by high-efficiency Stirling motors to generate heating energy and electricity on a decentralised basis (WhisperGen). This mini-CHP plant has now attained market maturity and is encountering high levels of customer acceptance due to the potential savings it offers.

In the field of private energy consumption, we are also currently testing fuel cell technology and multi-divisional meters enabling energy consumption to be controlled on an individual basis.
