Among current themes that emerged during the Hannover event, that of a rational and ecological energy production from fossiles and renewable energy sources, energy transportation and distribution.
From the works of the various forums it has emerged that the companies that supply energy will depend more and ore from Information technology. Today electric energy is already managed from the Internet: "Click & Trade" is the advertising slogan of the energy supply company HEW in Hamburg.
Through the World Wide Web customers now sign contracts, transmit meter figures and receive from their supply company all the information concerning the most updated offers. Powerline systems, introduced by the RWE company in Essen and by MVV in Mannheim, bring together bodies and customers. Therefore soon through power socket we will no longer receive just electric current but also films and services such as for example break-in prevention systems in our homes.
