 |  | The modern society uses an incredible amount of electricity and it is incredible, what electricity is used for in the modern society.
Naturally this results in a deep dependence on safe supplies as was experienced when a shortcut in a transformer in Sweden a few years ago left Copenhagen and most of Zealand without electricity for many hours where nothing worked.
Next time – and there will be a next time – it might be a storm leaving Jutland without power – or it might be a quite different scenario.
One thing is certain, there is a worldwide extension of power supply, and ISC participates at home as well as abroad.
From rather small plants in remote areas where a hydroelectric power station is intended to ensure electricity for the local school or hospital through medium sized diesel engine based power stations on exotic islands or in barren isolated areas to large, sophisticated and complicated plants able to utilize several types of fuel until – almost – the last calorie and supplied with extensive flue gas desulphurization and purification plants.
Luckily there is an increasing focus on the architecture and as a result of fruitful cooperation with skilled architects the large structures are given a sculptural design worth looking at – especially for the neighbours.
