Hitachi Energy develops sustainable solutions for future grids

At the Belgrade Energy Forum 2025, Hitachi Energy’s Country Marketing and Sales Leader in Serbia, Igor Anđelković, highlighted the company’s commitment to sustainable energy through innovative technologies and system solutions. As a global leader in energy technology, Hitachi Energy designs products and services that are integral to decarbonization and enhancing energy efficiency.

Hitachi Energy focuses on high-voltage grid solutions, including its EconiQ® portfolio, which operates without sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). This technology significantly lowers carbon emissions throughout its lifecycle. Since 2010, Hitachi Energy has implemented eco-efficient solutions for high-voltage grids up to 550kV, indicating a clear pathway for customers to transition to greener technologies.

The company’s contributions extend to the renewable energy sector, where it provides substation solutions that facilitate the integration of various renewable sources into the transmission and distribution networks. Notable projects in Southeast Europe, such as the Pupin and Crni Vrh wind farms in Serbia, and the Gvozd project in Montenegro, utilize Hitachi Energy’s technology to connect to the grid effectively.

Additionally, Hitachi Energy is advancing carbon neutrality in transportation with its Grid-eMotion® Fleet, a smart electric vehicle charging system. This shift from traditional charging methods to a system-based approach aims to support urban operators in scaling their electric vehicle fleets efficiently. Since 2013, Hitachi Energy has been at the forefront of electric vehicle charging solutions, pioneering innovations like flash-charging eBus systems.

Hitachi Energy is also making strides in smart airport technology, employing artificial intelligence, video analytics, and 3D LiDAR to optimize airport operations and enhance passenger experiences. The company’s electrification and digitization solutions support airports in their efforts to reduce carbon footprints and improve sustainability.

As a silver sponsor at BEF 2025, Hitachi Energy continues to demonstrate its leadership in promoting sustainable energy solutions across various sectors, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change and support local communities.
