Our answers to the
challenges of climate
change
Worldwide power generation (in terawatt-hours)
How will we generate the power we’ll need in the future? This is
a pressing question for many countries today, even though the
challenges vary from place to place. While the demand for elec-
tricity is soaring in the world’s emerging markets, cost-efficiency
and, in some cases, climate protection are the primary concerns in
the industrialized countries. A wide range of diverse measures will
be required to meet all these challenges. Energy systems around
the world are becoming much more complex. The linear energy-
conversion chain of the past is evolving into a complex power
matrix comprising many different producers and consumers.
We’re ideally positioned to master these challenges. Our portfolio
encompasses energy-saving products, solutions and services in the
fields of resource-conserving and climate-friendly power genera-
tion, low-loss power transmission and intelligent power distribution
via smart grids.
