Intelligent energy management
Installing the future
Our innovations drive the ongoing development of key components for energy management, such as distribution cabinets, charging stations for electric vehicles, control units and related software.
In the future, we will network intelligent buildings with smart power grids to form comprehensive connectivity in a decentralised energy system. When these systems use energy, it will be more focussed, efficient and environmentally friendly. We are not only conducting research on all these topics ourselves, but also helping to guide research in scientific committees.

Hager Energy: taking an active role in going green
Technologies for future self-sufficiency
Large electric power plants are on the decline, while decentralised energy production is on the rise. We now have over 2 million "prosumers", i.e. people who not only consume electricity, but also produce. One important technology for the future is bidirectional charging, where home energy storage can be used to charge the battery of an electric vehicle and vice versa. This means that the powerful batteries inside electric vehicles can not only be used to store energy for themselves, but also serve as elementary building blocks of the energy grid. By utilising e-vehicles in this manner, we can tap into an enormous, decentralised storage capacity that is needed for the transition to greener forms of energy.
In other words: we are installing the future.
