Circular economics is going to be a key focus for global businesses in 2024, according to the President of ABB Electrification Service, Stuart Thompson. Companies are taking a circular approach that supplants our throwaway culture by prioritizing – among other factors – the life-cycle management, lifetime extension, circular design and reuse and recycling of products. And this is where modern day

The world is facing unprecedented challenges when it comes to energy distribution and environmental sustainability. Utilities are under immense pressure to ensure grid resiliency while also preparing for future environmental challenges. It is essential, therefore, to adopt a forward-thinking approach that balances economic viability, operational efficiency, and sustainability. One such approach is

Finland’s largest hospital area has future-proofed its life saving power supply thanks to a modernization program with electrification partner ABB. The Meilahti Hospital Area in Helsinki, which is operated by HUS, upgraded its electrical system to maximize uptime, eliminate the use of SF6, a potent greenhouse gas, in the medium-voltage (MV) switchgear, extend the life of electrical equipment and

As part of its efforts to achieve net zero fossil carbon dioxide emissions, Mälarenergi has partnered with ABB to upgrade its switchgear with retrofit solutions at its cogeneration plant in Västerås. By replacing the plant's aging circuit breakers with modern Emax2 models – featuring Ekip Hi-Touch relay protection and energy metering – the electrical circuits are not only fully protected, but

A leading Belgium energy supplier has turned to ABB Electrification Service for a retrofill solution to safeguard and extend the safe operating life of its switchgear systems across five of its combined heat and power (CHP) plants. ENGIE, which specializes in energy supply, management, mobility solutions, solar panel installations and batteries, and asset-based energy services, was looking to

ABB is investing USD $1 million to open a Digital Solutions & Training Centre in Singapore, the first of its kind in Asia Pacific for ABB Electrification Service. Amidst global challenges such as energy uncertainty, rising inflation, and aggressive sustainability targets, businesses are under pressure to evolve their business models to meet increasing electricity demands and cut carbon emissions.

If the eighties and nineties were about building bigger and better, the twenty-twenties have brought into sharp focus the impact that global overconsumption is having on our environment and society. According to the OECD, we will need 2.3 planets to meet our material resource needs by 2040 if we continue to grow consumption at the current pace.

With efficiency, safety and sustainability in mind, ABB has upgraded Electrification service agreement to feature advanced services configured by the needs of industry segments and paired with digital solutions - to drive productivity savings, improve safety and compliance. The new Power Care agreement is tailored for individual service requirements to fit the needs and condition of electrical

When you’re operating one of the world’s largest offshore LNG plants, planned maintenance is key to meet production schedules and ensure ROI. INPEX Ichthys floating offshore facilities in the Timor Sea turned four last year, and with that came the need to inspect its ABB designed electrical system. ABB’s service team performed 5,200 hours on-site, running 12-hour shifts, with zero incidents.

Two of Finland’s major hydro power plants, located in the freezing Arctic Circle, are now SF6 ‘greenhouse gas’ free thanks to a turn-key generator circuit breaker retrofit that gears them up for a more resource-efficient future. ABB customer, Kemijoki Oy, is one of the most important players in Finland’s renowned carbon neutral electricity system – responsible for balancing half of the country’s
