KEMA NV

How will the demand for power develop over the years ahead? How do I best balance the risk of equipment failure against maintenance or capital replacement choices? Do these components or household appliances comply with the standards? Answering questions such as these is KEMA’s core business. All around the world, liberalization and restructuring are proceeding apace. Internationalization and liberalization are closely associated with heightened pressure to operate power networks as economically as possible – without compromising reliability. This in turn necessitates efficiency improvements and investment policies targeted on the operational, tactical and strategic levels. KEMA is intensively involved in these processes as an energy consultant and a specialist in testing and certification.
