- ABB Electrification to install low voltage power technologies at key High Speed 2 (HS2) rail stations
- The first four stations will be London Euston, Old Oak Common, Interchange, and Birmingham Curzon Street
ABB Electrification will provide low voltage power components, Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and central battery systems to support the four HS2 state-of-the-art transport hubs at London Euston, Old Oak Common, Interchange, and Birmingham Curzon Street.
ABB’s solutions will be standardised across all stations, simplifying ongoing operations and maintenance while ensuring power continuity and safety across the rail network. A framework agreement will allow HS2’s station construction partners to procure low voltage components and UPS and central battery systems from ABB.
Project scope also includes the potential for further ABB integration across other areas of HS2 such as the Automated People Mover (APM) and Rail Systems Contracts.
Nigel Thomas, National Specification & Projects Sales Manager at ABB Electrification, said: “Our sustainable and innovative power solutions will enable HS2 to deliver Britain’s high-speed rail transformation. The Low voltage power components alongside UPS and central battery systems supplied by ABB will play a crucial role in supporting HS2’s operational targets, from passenger experience to environmental goals, as well as ensuring the longevity of these state-of-the-art transport hubs.”
