Schneider Electric Launches MiCST, an Innovative Solar Cooperation Project

The MiCST project includes the design and construction of an innovative solar power plant to heat an alternator powered by 10 kilowatts by heating the energy of the sun, which powers the thermal machinery. The original idea of ​​this solution is to provide electricity for areas without grid, especially for developing countries with abundant solar energy resources. The solution is expected to be easily adopted by local engineers due to its ease of installation and maintenance. The 42-month project brings together the expertise of all partners from industrial companies to research institutes and is supported by the French Environment and Energy Agency. As a leader in the project, Schneider Electric will consolidate the strengths of all organizations and give full play to the organizations' ability in research and development of solar energy to create a broader impact. Gilles Vermot Desroches, Senior Vice President of Sustainability at Schneider Electric, said: "Through the MiCST project, Schneider Electric hopes to provide energy for 1.6 billion people worldwide that still can not afford to use renewable energy today." Schneider Electric designed a solar power plant Rugged, cost-effective, and green, helping underdeveloped communities grow. "The MiCST project is also part of Schneider Electric's" Bibo Plan ", a global sustainability program (" Bibo Plan ": Business, Innovation & People at the base of the pyramid (BipBop), is designed to provide them with a viable solution to the needs of people at the bottom of the pyramid, provide electricity training and help innovate entrepreneurs to develop their business related to electrical and energy saving. "Bibo Program "has successfully landed in China and helped to provide vocational education and sustainable development in China by providing electrical training for poor students. Recently, Schneider Electric has helped Beijing Centennial Vocational School set up two electrical plants in Beijing and Chengdu Experimental classroom; same Electrical professional students in the school to provide professional electrical training and energy efficiency education, outstanding students will also receive Schneider Electric internship and work opportunities.
