Elektron have recently designed and and patented new energy efficient products such as new energy efficient fridge and cabinet lighting.
This is from today's issue of the internal Bosch web newsletter -
"Ministers seek to promote power-saving household appliancesThe German federal government has plans to provide financial incentives for the purchase of refrigerators and other electrical appliances that consume less power. Spokespersons for both ministries confirmed that both federal economics minister Michael Glos and federal environment minister Sigmar Gabriel are studying the proposal. The money required would come from the emissions trading scheme with pollution certificates. According to the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association (ZVEI) umbrella organization, the subsidy could be as much as 150 euros for the purchase of a highly efficient refrigerator or freezer. The German business newspaper “Handelsblatt” pointed out that, if the program runs for two years, subsidies would amount to around 260 million euros. (dpa – August 18, 2008)"A similar initiative is a little further down the line in France. The UK Gov have discussed it, but so far, taken no action (as ever!!!).
Arcolelectric are strong all over Europe in Fridge Door Switches, White Goods Switches & Indicators, and stuff like energy efficient Cooker Hood Controllers etc.This type of boost to demand for white goods plays right to one of EKT's strengths.
