With a local production, we strengthen our customer relationship in focusing on the specific demands', explains Horst J. Kayser, Chief Executive Officer of AEG Power Solutions. Since 2008, the Indian government follows a National Action Plan on Climate Change, where the extension of solar energy plays a key role. Huge photovoltaic fields, solar power plants and rooftop installations should generate 1,000 MW of power by 2013. Besides this, it is planned to produce further 200 MW by solar systems, which are not connected to the public power network. Under the plan, the use of solar-powered equipment and applications would be made compulsory in all government buildings, as well as hospitals and hotels. In 2006, AEG PS started its successful Indian operations. In the last 6 months, AEG PS has been awarded total solutions equipment for 39MW and Monitoring Systems for 45MW from major OEM's and Solar farm developers.
