IED - Small power systems development


Small power systems development

The services offered by IED include technical, economic and organisational aspects of power system development.
Generalising the provision of power services implies increasing capital requirements and necessitates rationalising the existing networks.

The prevailing “crisis” situation requires necessary in depth reforms of the existing structures. Utilities now must gradually open to new technologies and approaches and systematise economic and financial analysis to have a transparent understanding of their cost dynamics.
