other equipment and appliances (e.g. combined heat and power appliances, new efficient devices, time control for optimised energy use, stand-by loss reduction, installation of capacitors to reduce reactive power, transformers with low losses).

Work on power semiconductor technology to be implemented in 150 mm production is also planned along the lines of improving the performance characteristics of existing discrete power components produced in Villach, and further development of Siemens' smart power IC (integrated-circuit) technology.

Just in summary, in the past five years alone, the green power industry, the low-impact renewable development industry, has put into the ground facilities that are now generating 2,300 gigawatt hours.
