In many parts of the world, power companies dominate the energy markets for the sole reason that they own the supply networks. Such networks are often configured around a central point of energy production, and are neither designed nor suitable for accommodating decentralised sources of energy. Even in cases where the political will is there, the economic preconditions for energy independence are often missing. A decentralised energy supply is thus the very thing that can contribute to solving structural problems and generating regional added value.

A second problem is posed in regions where the infrastructure for supplying energy is either extremely crude or completely non-existent. A power supply is one of the most important preconditions for a region’s development. In the absence of a power supply, it is impossible for any education, small-scale manufacture or developed commercial or political activity to take place. In democratically organised countries, roughly uniform development of regions often forms part of the common objective of ensuring the participation of the broader population in society. These problems have in the past been, and today still are, the driving force for us behind our development of particular products and systems.
