Following the European Union (EU)’s latest F-gas proposals released earlier this year, ABB has created a free-of-charge, downloadable whitepaper – ‘Migrate to a more certain future’ – to support engineers in making this key transition. The EU’s F-gas regulation, which outlines key dates for the prohibition of SF6 in medium voltage (MV) electrical equipment, including new installations of SF6 gas

As part of ambitious plans to decarbonize its network by 2040, Northern Powergrid, which provides power to 3.9 million homes and businesses in northern England, is piloting ABB’s eco-efficient Medium Voltage (MV) switchgear. The innovative solution replaces harmful SF6 with alternative insulation gases, AirPlus™ and dry air, with almost zero global warming impact (GWP). Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)

Enel Global Infrastructure & Networks will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide reliable and sustainable power across its networks in Italy and Spain thanks to the installation of ABB’s innovative SF6-free Ring Main Units (RMUs), specifically designed for Enel’s requirements. The project represents an important step towards delivering increasingly sustainable power grids, as ABB’s low

Bogotá, the capital and most populous city of Colombia with its over 7 million inhabitants, is one of the highest major cities in the world at 2640 meters above sea level. The city also stands out thanks to its public transport company, Green Móvil, which has made the switch to 100 percent electric buses, positioning them as having the largest electric fleet in Latin America. ABB recently

ABB is delivering the primary power distribution solution with protection relays and robotic technologies to technology company Wärtsilä’s Smart Technology Hub research, product development and production center, which is being completed in Vaskiluoto in the city of Vaasa, Finland.

ABB installs a digital solution for a large-scale advanced data center in East China with over 80 percent faster commissioning and reduced on-site wiring resulting in 40 percent reduction in project delivery time.

Swedish industry has always been at the forefront of innovation, from steel to industrial robots and cars. This time it's salad that's on the menu as ABB helps farmer Ljusgårda to grow its plans for sustainable year-round production of 7,000 m2 of leafy greens. In a small town in Sweden, called Tibro, local company Ljusgårda has just started the large-scale, fully automated indoor cultivation of

ABB technology is being used to build the world’s largest desalination plant in Taweelah, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The USD 500 million development will have the capacity to process over 900,000 cubic meters of seawater per day, enough to meet the demands of over 350,000 households.

ABB is proud to announce another step in its continued partnership with multinational energy company Enel towards sustainable electricity distribution grids technology. Enel Global Infrastructure and Networks appointed ABB in a public tender to deliver the first SafePlus AirPlus™ 24kV Ring Main Unit switchgear with heavy duty circuit breakers and fused switch panels.

Another breakthrough for ABB’s sustainable switchgear portfolio has been released to order: ABB has launched a ring main unit (RMU) with a groundbreaking load break switch (LBS) that uses sustainable alternative gases to SF6 for enhanced performance and reduced environmental impact.
