Leonardo ENERGY

Leonardo ENERGY is an initiative managed by the European Copper Institute, dedicated to building information centres to serve designers, engineers, contractors, architects, general managers, regulators, journalists, teachers and students, who are professionally or otherwise involved with electrical energy.

Through various projects, including the award-winning Leonardo Power Quality Initiative, over 150 partners from leading academia and industry are involved with Leonardo ENERGY.


Leonardo Power Quality Initiative

The Leonardo Power Quality Initiative offers the electrical sector a vast information sharing and knowledge base service.

Created in 2001, LPQI has grown into a partnership community of 100 authorities in the field of power quality. They range from academic and polytechnic institutions to engineering companies. LPQI aims to provide end-users and business decision makers with facts and best practices to improve power quality in the non-residential sector and to raise awareness among policy makers. LPQI European education programme reaches 100 000 professionals each year.

Now CDA Africa is bringing that same knowledge base to its members in Africa. New items from LPQI will be featured here from time-to-time.
