CIGRE | Paris Session 2026
Hitachi Energy is driving the development of a safe, affordable, and sustainable electricity system, enabling the era of electrification through reliable energy that powers society and sustains the growth of future generations.
As electrification progresses, electricity grids need to become more resilient, flexible, and prepared to integrate renewable sources on a large scale.
The priority is implementation: building, modernizing, and operating a system that remains safe, affordable, and sustainable. At CIGRE 2026, we are turning this vision into action, at the heart of discussions about the challenges and opportunities of the Electricity Era.
MAIN THEMES
One balance the system must strike
Secure, affordable and sustainable aren’t three separate goals — they are one balance the power system must hold. Our presence at CIGRE was based on these three pillars.
Affordability
Affordability begins with the design and efficiency of physical equipment. We help utilities do more with existing assets, for longer — optimizing total cost of ownership across the full asset lifecycle.
Security
Energy security starts at the physical layer and is reinforced by automation and intelligence. We strengthen it with resilient, flexible, reliable and cyber-aware grid technologies.
Sustainability
Sustainability means decarbonizing the grid itself while integrating renewables at scale — from SF₆-free, eco-efficient equipment to digitally optimized operations.
OUR DIFFERENTIATOR
We don’t sell parts. We deliver one integrated system
Physical infrastructure is the foundation. Automation and protection unlock its full capability in real time. Enterprise intelligence maximizes its value over a lifetime. Hitachi Energy is the partner that connects all three.
Physical infrastructure
The foundation
High-voltage infrastructure that provides the backbone of the power system.
EconiQ SF₆-free switchgear · HVDC DC circuit breaker · transformers · C-LVR · FACTS · Air RIP Flex 800 kV · AxoniQ™
Automation & protection
Unlocks it in real time
Fast, selective, cyber-secure protection and control that keeps the infrastructure reliable and performing.
Relion 670 series · REF650 · SAM600 · FOX615 · NSD670 · MicroSCADA X
Enterprise intelligence
Maximizes its value
Enterprise-level solutions to run the grid in real time and optimize asset and work performance across the lifecycle.
HMAX Energy · Network Manager · Asset & Work Management
One architecture, across the full grid lifecycle — from planning and construction to operation, maintenance and lifetime extension.
