Hitachi Energy has signed long-term framework agreements with French distribution system operator Enedis worth EUR 350 million. The long-term agreements secure the delivery of distribution and power transformers, helping to address the global transformer shortage, a critical component in strengthening France’s electricity grid, Hitachi Energy said.
“Hitachi Energy and Enedis share a nearly two-decade relationship, supported by our manufacturing footprint in Italy and Poland,” said Bruno Melles, CEO of the Transformers Business Unit, Hitachi Energy. “These agreements reinforce our commitment to securing transformer capacity and co-creating solutions that strengthen France’s power grid and accelerate the clean energy transition.”
As global demand for grid infrastructure intensifies, long-term agreements provide customers with certainty, availability, and cost predictability needed to modernize and expand their networks on time, Melles added.
By combining a large installed base with proactive, data-driven insights and comprehensive lifecycle services, the partnership reduces unplanned outages, boosts transformer efficiency, and extends asset life, Hitachi Energy said.
