Intelligent system integration, the ability to incorporate different sources of electricity, and promoting technological innovation are all rapidly gaining in importance in a radically changing energy landscape. To assure the company access to new and profitable areas of business in the future, Repower has started to build its own New Tech unit. The idea is to harness know-how from the countries and areas of expertise in which Repower itself operates, as well as fostering strategic partnerships with other companies and start-ups. A good example of innovative technology is the Privapower tariff.
