The world is becoming more and more electrified, and more than ever before, electricity is the energy source of the 21st century: it is the most effective energy source and the best carrier for decarbonization. Innovation is part of Schneider Electric’s DNA. The team has been evaluating promising trends and technologies that can help make energy safer, more reliable, efficient, sustainable, open and interconnected. Direct current in power distribution is one such area.

With the acquisition of DC Systems, Schneider Electric is consolidating its product portfolio to provide customers with simpler and more flexible related applications, such as building microgrids in unreliable public grid environments, or in long-distance applications ( Such as public lighting).

"Schneider Electric has always been at the forefront of innovation," said Nadège Petit, executive vice president of Schneider Electric's power products business. "This new acquisition is closely aligned with our company's mission to enable everyone to make the most of their energy and resources. In addition, it further strengthens our ability to provide efficient and resilient solutions for microgrids in buildings. Promise of"
DC Systems has a good track record in developing hybrid AC/DC power distribution systems for microgrids, and its DNA is built on the deployment of actual projects. With many years of experience in this field, DC Systems is recognized as one of the first institutions to manufacture "100% DC electrified buildings", namely the "Circl Building" in Amsterdam. DC Systems also provided DC electrical solutions for the lighting of more than 300 kilometers of public roads and several commercial buildings throughout Europe, all of which benefited from the existing ecosystem of its contractors and integrators
"At Schneider Electric, we have found a like-minded partner who has a common vision. Like us, he is committed to providing excellent energy solutions based on an open ecosystem and bringing tangible benefits to everyone." Harry Stokman, the founder of DC Systems, said, "I look forward to our joint response to energy challenges."
