Last week, we welcomed Hitachi Energy’s new CEO, Andreas Schierenbeck, as previously announced in our press release in early March. To ensure a smooth transition, Claudio Facchin has for the last couple of months, spent time together with Andreas visiting factories and meeting with customers, partners, academia, educational institutions, government representatives and our Hitachi Energy employees and Hitachi colleagues. Claudio is handing over the leadership of Hitachi Energy to Andreas after more than a decade in Executive Team roles within the energy sector and the power grids industry. More than 45,000 Hitachi Energy employees across the world extended their gratitude and warmness to an extraordinary CEO who has built up Hitachi Energy from scratch and been leading diverse teams across the globe through days with sunshine and days with stormy weather. Regardless of the environment, the focus has always been on customers, partners, people and innovation. Now, in the next phase that begins, we will together with Andreas continue to support our customers, partners and other stakeholders, as we are advancing the world’s energy system to be more sustainable, flexible and secure.
"These investments will enable the company to meet customers' commitments and market demand, increasing its global R&D, engineering and manufacturing capacity of transformers, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) and high-voltage products."

In Cordova, Alaska, we helped to establish a microgrid that supports the adoption of renewable power from multiple sources, including two hydroelectric dams. The microgrid includes a battery energy storage system (BESS) which enables Cordova to maximize its hydropower generation. Cordova’s microgrid has been a key step in helping the community reduce its reliance on diesel.
Today we evolve to become Hitachi Energy!
