IndraNet Technologies Ltd has secured the licence from MDI in France to manufacture iPower Units in Australia, New Zealand & Pacific Islands.
Plans are well advanced for the first manufacturing plant

•   without all the red tape of resource consents?
•   without more unsightly pylons and transmission lines?
•   without a huge carbon footprint (e.g. in a NZ Wind Farm the turbines were made
     in Denmark, the blades the Isle of Wright and the towers in Vietnam and Australia)?
•   without polluting the environment?
•   initially the cost 25% less than current power prices?
•   to eventually achieve 80-90% efficiency compared to today’s
     20% efficiency?
•   to be independent of power outages and blackouts?

If one (1) MDI manufacturing plant produces 25,000 power generators (12 KW each)  per year this adds  300 MW of electricity, then think globally of what small factories worldwide could do, hundreds and hundreds of factories each adding 300MW per year (to the power grid) will do to replace and increase power generation for the planet. AND units will be run at point of use, minimising the carbon footprint, as well as being environmentally friendly - Power generated from AIR yes AIR!
p.s. The power supply solution is a combination of compressed air driven power generators and IndraNet Minder which form meshed networks that synchronize the power within the existing power grid.

iPower - Intelligent Power

In the near future we will begin to see changes in our power industry. Two of the firms leading the way in this change are MDI with its compressed air power generator and IndraNet with its wireless meshed network. Combine these two technologies and we have a new era in complimentary power generation.

Now an interesting point to note is that Power generated at the ‘point of use’ is much more efficient than power being supplied from the grid, in fact it is up to 80% efficient, compared with power currently coming from the National Grid, at as little as 20% efficient.

Many countries around the world face power shortages, blackouts, storms that disrupt supply and not enough line capacity to meet current needs, let alone the future demands. We are certainly at a point where we need a new approach.

Now don’t think more pylons or more dams but move forward and embrace new innovations, new technology’s that will bring new possibilities. Look forward to new business models where consumers have more control over their power. Compared with a few years ago when we had few choices with our phones, now look at our phone market today, landline, mobile, satellite, VoIP, GPRS, CDMA etc

Power units can be small – sufficient to power a household – or large scaleable units for business and industrial use. They can be used for air conditioning, and also stand by generators. The household unit is about the size of and air conditioner and when installed with the IndraNet minder is able to power the household and put excess generation back into the grid and initially is expected to cost 25% less than our current power. Remotely monitored and no more need for meter readers to call, and in older houses we know what a hassle that can be.
 

It has been a cold winter in the south and power demands at high levels, often the night rate is cut back, you have a couple of showers in the morning and there is no hot water by teatime to do dishes, the under floor heating, feels colder than usual so you need to turn heaters on and I guess in a way use more power, consumers are at the mercy of the power companies – for now there are no choices.
 

iPower will be obvious to everyone within a decade. It will be main stream within two decades
