The Power Pioneers
Commitment

The savings programme from the power outlet.

You will soon discover how intelligent power outlets can be from your power bill.

The dish washer and dryer only turn on  when they receive a signal from the power outlet– when the electricity is cheapest. Appliances with a decentralised power supply only feed electricity into the network when it is particularly low and thus it can be sold for a particularly high price.


Project “Price Signal on the Power Outlet”.

The newest counting and communication technology will make it possible to gear power consumption in such a way that everyone benefits from it: the customers get lower power bills and the energy companies benefit from less usage peaks.

For 2006, EnBW has planned a first pilot project of this type in a test market in Baden-Württemberg.

The energy of the future: fuel cells.

The first fuel cell was already developed in 1839. Now it is close to a breakthrough.

Biomass: a sustainable form of energy.

As opposed to burning fossil fuels,  biomass is CO2 neutral. And it is sustainable.
