Five Rights to Freedom of The Switch give the ability to excel even during hard times

The wind power business has experienced difficulties over the years in different continents. In 2009, the financial crisis squeezed money from the European market. In 2010, the US market slowed down. And most recently, China cooled in 2011.

We have been able to navigate in this turbulent environment, even though The Switch, too, has experienced challenges. Many potential projects have not turned into the planned volume production. Many of our customers have experienced challenges to enter the market, changed ownership or have given up on the wind turbine business.

We have analyzed our success factors – and come to the conclusion that we embrace certain rights, giving The Switch the freedom and ability to excel even during hard times.

The Switch has taken a closer look at how to decrease the cost of energy. The formula for lowering the cost of energy is ultimately very simple: Lower overall capital investment costs, equipment lifetime O&M costs and fuel costs while boosting the amount of energy generated.
