Electricity will be the backbone of the entire energy system

  • Tomorrow's Power System will be a "System of Systems"

In the global Power System of 2050, we need four times of today's generation capacity, and we will need to transfer three times as much electrical energy

Market leadership enabled by technology and global approach

  • Sustainable products and solutions, power electronics and digitalization are fundamental technology areas enabling the Future Power System
  • Hitachi Energy is building its global market leadership position on innovation and a total organizational global approach

One Hitachi synergies

  • One Hitachi can help accelerate the energy transition in Japan and further strengthen Hitachi Energy's global technology and market leadership position for the Energy System of the future
