The Opportunity

The world's energy grids are evolving at an unprecedented pace due to changes in the generation mix, load demand and power eco-system. Without the right actions, the future grid will be more complex, weaker, less controllable, more decentralized, and less resilient.

With a pioneering technology-leading offering, Hitachi Energy's Power Quality Solutions support the green energy transition with solutions that bring resilience, stability, and increased capacity to the power grid. As a result, more renewable energy sources can be integrated, environmental impacts minimized and lower the risk of disruption in the grid.

We are committed to supporting customers from different segments worldwide to meet their sustainable goals, paving the way for a more sustainable, flexible, and secure energy system.
