Hitachi Energy, Ansaldo Energia to develop integrated power solutions

Hitachi Energy and Italian company Ansaldo Energia have signed an MoU to develop and market integrated power solutions designed to help customers secure reliable power faster and meet rapidly growing electricity needs with greater flexibility, resilience and speed. 

The collaboration aims to bring together complementary capabilities in power generation and power grid infrastructure, combining Ansaldo Energia’s gas-turbine and generator technologies with Hitachi Energy’s expertise in full grid system integration spanning high-voltage, transformers, automation and power electronics, according to a press release.

Together, the companies intend to develop integrated power generation and electrification solutions capable of serving both 60 Hz and 50 Hz markets, including deployment in data centers. 

“As power demand continues to outpace available infrastructure, the need for scalable, rapidly deployable power solutions has become increasingly urgent,” said Andreas Schierenbeck, CEO of Hitachi Energy. “By combining our complementary strengths with Ansaldo Energia, we help customers unlock new capacity, accelerate time to power, and build resilient energy systems that support economic growth and digital innovation.” 

“By combining Ansaldo Energia’s power generation technologies with Hitachi Energy’s expertise in grid infrastructure, we will provide integrated solutions that accelerate deployment and deliver the scale, flexibility and reliability required by the next generation of industrial, digital and energy infrastructure,” said Fabrizio Fabbri, CEO of Ansaldo Energia. 

Hitachi Energy also aims to support the autonomous and integrated operation of data centers through One Hitachi by combining its end-to-end power solutions with HMAX Data Center, the press release said.
