Ambition to play a leading role in renewable energy supply and management: With the beginning of the new year Hager Group starts the Business Unit Hager Energy. 
“Our ambition is to play a leading role in the field of renewable energy supply and management” says CEO of Hager Group, Daniel Hager, “
The new business unit operates under the name Hager Energy and will address specific market segments in Europe relying on the two strong, complementary brands E3/DC - a subsidiary of Hager Group - and Hager. The new business unit, Hager Energy, is under the leadership of Andreas Piepenbrink, CEO and Rémy Becher, COO. Hager Energy will regroup team members who are already working on energy management projects. “We foster agility by bringing together E3/DC and Hager Group teams with common objectives and priorities. This is crucial to lead in this very promising and dynamic market,” comments Andreas Piepenbrink.
The highly innovative E3/DC applications complement the energy management offer of Hager Group. With E3/DC energy storage systems, users become more independent from the electricity grid, thus increasing the reliability of their supply and cost visibility. Self-generated electricity, such as energy from photovoltaic installations, can be stored depending on supply and demand. Hager Group is market leader in Europe in the development and production of central elements required for energy management, such as distribution boards, electric vehicle charging stations and control devices and associated software. The pooling of core competences creates a business unit that will offer existing and new customers highly innovative integrated solutions and services.
