The research and development projects will support NVIDIA’s planned introduction of 800 VDC

EPV Energy’s new solar park is set to become one of Finland’s largest, featuring 123,000 solar panels. ABB has joined the project as a key technology provider, delivering automation and control systems that ensure efficient energy production and monitoring.

From a distance, it looks like a classic barn, but behind the traditional red-painted facade lies a state-of-the-art substation. Vallebygdens Energi is building a brand-new substation in Southern Sweden, in collaboration with ABB and Vattenfall Services – a partnership that ensures electricity for future generations.

Elektrizace Železnic (EŽ), a leading Czech EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) company specializing in the development, design, and installation of overhead contact lines and power supply systems for railways and public transportation, has taken a significant step toward providing more reliable and efficient infrastructure. In collaboration with ABB, EŽ has installed ABB’s AdvaSense™

ABB has partnered with E.ON, Germany’s largest distribution system operator (DSO), to supply its new sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)-free gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). As a DSO, E.ON is responsible for operating, maintaining, and developing the medium- and low-voltage electricity networks that deliver power to end users. The delivery includes ABB’s next-generation SafeRing and SafePlus Air 24kV

The devastating floods in Pakistan in the fall of 2022, caused by unusually heavy monsoon rains, submerged a third of the country, affecting 33 million people and causing extensive damage to infrastructure and homes. In the wake of this tragedy, the country has been on a path to recovery, with a significant surge in demand for cement to rebuild infrastructure and housing. To meet this critical

The Duferco Travi e Profilati steel mill in San Zeno Naviglio in northern Italy is the Duferco Group's largest plant. It has an area of about 491,860 m² and a production capacity of about 950,000 tons per year of steel for the steel mill and 700,000 tons for the rolling mill. The steel mill has an electric furnace, two refining furnaces - including a twin furnace capable of simultaneously

The transition to SF6-free switchgear is one of the most significant technological shifts in the history of medium-voltage infrastructure — and it’s happening at a time of unprecedented pressure on the grid.

The green transition, new consumption patterns and the rise of decentralized energy sources are making it increasingly challenging to maintain the grid. The partnership between Vores Elnet and ABB demonstrates how project management, innovation and collaboration are driving the modernization of Denmark's power infrastructure – ensuring reliable electricity every day, all year round.

In the heart of South Jutland, the green fuel of the future is being produced. Kassø is home to the world's first large-scale e-methanol plant, situated alongside the largest solar park in the Nordics. As European Energy’s Power-to-X site moves from vision to reality, ABB's role has evolved from supplier to co-developer and problem solver.
