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.

In the latest release, ABB’s centralized protection and control offering, SSC600 and SSC600 SW, has been extended to include line differential protection and support for even more standards.

One of the largest construction projects in the country is currently underway to expand NKT’s factory in Karlskrona, Sweden, increasing the capacity to meet growing need for offshore high-voltage power cabling. To keep electricity flowing to this pivotal project, NKT has partnered with ABB Distribution Solutions to deliver the power supply to the expanded facilities. The production facility will

Ready to protect and control any asset in advanced power generation and distribution applications, REX640 is now available in two sizes for increased flexibility in installation.

The transition away from fossil fuels is a priority for European energy utilities and industries alike, but there is a reality gap—the need for more investment to meet clean energy goals, according to a new survey conducted by ABB's Distribution Solutions Division. European electrification purchase decision-makers in France, Germany, Italy, Norway, and the U.K. were surveyed, and more than half

When it was time to upgrade four of its substations built in the 1980s, Swedish distribution system operator Sala-Heby Energi Elnät (SHEAB) chose to upgrade their installed medium-voltage switchgear with new smart protection relays and refurbish existing circuit breakers. Reliability and availability of power supply are crucial for distribution system operators (DSOs). Having previously
