INTELLIGENT GREEN TECHNOLOGY
Maximising the 3Ds of the
New Energy World
Schneider Electric is committed
to digitisation, decarbonisation
and decentralisation says
Thierry Chamayou.
T
he world’s energy consumption
is expected to increase by 80 per
cent over the next 25 years due
to urbanisation, population growth and
resource mismanagement, a critical issue
requiring the urgent attention of the public
and private sector. Regional governments
have been quick to understand the energy
threat and are turning their attention
to smart solutions as the answer.
Harnessing the power of data, we can
create a more responsive, responsible and
efficient ecosystem.
Innovative technologies that can cut
down energy costs and, consequently, the
carbon footprint, are the need of the hour
in every industry, home and datacentre.
Solutions that integrate connectivity,
reliability and safety with sustainability
can help organisations do more with
less, extend the lifecycle of infrastructure
and avoid resource wastage. Schneider
Electric has been catering to precisely
this need by combining IT with OT
(operational technologies). Governments
across the Middle East and Africa
are prioritising sustainability as part
of their core national objectives. In
fact, ‘Sustainable Environment and
Infrastructure’ is part of the UAE Vision
2021 national agenda. Technology is the
key achieving this. Having served the
Gulf region for more than three decades,
Schneider Electric understands its
customers and market needs extremely
well, and caters to them through constant
adaptation and innovation, keeping in
mind the global environmental and
energy threat we all face today.
