Hitachi Energy has successfully integrated over 150GW of high voltage direct current (HVDC) links into worldwide power grids, a figure large enough to cover the peak energy demands of Japan. Notably, this tally incorporates the inaugural energy delivery from Dogger Bank, a UK offshore wind farm.
Since 2020, following strategic investment initiatives, Hitachi Energy has grown its workforce by an impressive 8,000 members. Additionally, the company has channeled $3 billion into multiple sectors, including manufacturing and engineering, research and development, and expanding collaborations. Claudio Facchin, CEO of Hitachi Energy, conveyed the company's vision, stating, “Electricity will serve as the crucial foundation of the entire energy system, facilitating the transition to clean energy. Our current milestone signifies how we empower our customers to speed up the evolution of necessary power grids.”
These sustained investments align with both the Hitachi Energy 2030 Plan and Hitachi's Mid-term Management Plan set for 2024. The overarching strategy aims to position Hitachi Energy as an indispensable partner across all phases of a customer's lifecycle. The company's significant contributions to global HVDC infrastructure illustrate its commitment to pioneering efficient, sustainable energy solutions.
