Hitachi Energy Korea is a global leader in power technologies and energy system. In 2020, ABB’s Power Grids’ business carved out from ABB and 2021 came together in a joined venture with Hitachi. With the purpose of "Advancing a Sustainable Future for All," we work with customers and partners to promise a sustainable energy future for the current and future generations.
Hitachi Energy is composed of four global Business Units namely High Voltage products, Transformers, Grid Automation and Grid Integration. it collaborates customers in the utility, industry, and infrastructure sectors across the value chain to pioneer the technology needed to accelerate the transition to carbon neutrality, enable digital transformation, and develop the world's energy system to be more sustainable, flexible and secure.
Hitachi Energy has been actively pursuing the sustainability goal of "Sustainability 2030" based on the UN's SDG in 2016, and 100% fossil free electricity in own operation is the target for Planet. To this end, it has established a plan to convert 100% of its electricity used to renewable energy by the end of 2021 and to reduce CO2 emissions by 50% in the value chain by 2030.
In this regard, Hitachi Energy Korea has participated in the green premium system every year since the carve out and has been carrying out RE100. In addition, we installed solar panels on the roof of the factory to increase the use of renewable energy produced by ourselves and are running electric vehicle charging stations for free which contributes to raising employees' awareness of renewable energy and promote active consumption.
