HITACHI ENERGY, EQUINOR COLLABORATE ON ENERGY TRANSMISSION DESIGNS

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 8 (Bernama) -- Global technology leader in sustainable energy Hitachi Energy has signed an agreement with one of the world’s largest energy companies Equinor to collaborate within the electrification, renewable power generation and low-carbon sector worldwide.

The agreement underscores both companies’ commitment to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable, flexible and secure energy system, the statement said.

“It builds on both companies’ long and successful collaboration over many decades,” the statement said.

Hitachi Energy said the collaboration’s initial focus areas include developing standardised base designs to be applied for high-voltage direct current and alternating current transmission systems to connect offshore wind farms and Equinor's production facilities to mainland power grids.

Hitachi Energy’s grid integration business managing director Niklas Persson said they are delighted to deepen their longstanding relationship with Equinor and help them achieve its ambition to become net zero by mid-century.

Hitachi Energy added that the scope of the agreement covers a complete portfolio of power grid technologies and solutions, including its IdentiQ and OceaniQ solutions.
