A new energy age has dawned throughout the world. Important characteristics are the increasing power demand, high prices for oil and natural gas and new challenges with regard to climate protection.

Despite new conditions, it is necessary to cope with the complex requirements: every household and every enterprise must be reliably and safely supplied with power. The supply must be as economical and inexpensive as possible. And all that with the environment in mind – that is, in a manner that will preserve both climate and resources.
