These power quality issues were a big challenge for the Sir Francis Crick Institute, the largest biomedical laboratory in Europe. The 1,250 scientists at “the Crick” perform cutting-edge research into cancer, neuroscience, physiology, ageing and homeostasis – finding new ways to treat, diagnose and prevent human disease. The laboratory was opened in 2016 to provide the best working environment for

The electrification of bus services is advancing rapidly across Europe. The European Commission is accelerating this progress with a requirement for 40% of urban mobility to be low-emission by 2026. In Finland, the pace of change is rapid. In 2021, 70% of new buses were electric and the electrification process is naturally supported by the construction of charging infrastructure. Founded in 2020

Reliable power supplies are essential. Preventing power cuts ensures production lines can operate at peak productivity without complex and costly restarts: safety levels are maintained; resources conserved; product quality and process equipment protected; and valuable production time maximized.
