Renewable electricity

The transition from fossil fuels and raw materials to sustainably generated electricity takes time and money. We’re therefore developing technologies to generate electricity from solar and wind more cheaply and more efficiently.

Cheaper and more effective electricity from solar and wind

Increasing renewable electricity is essential, but challenging. We’re developing technology for cheaper and more effective solar and wind energy.
