Inspire the next era of sustainable energy

Electricity is the main source of cleaner power, reducing emissions and accelerating the energy transition. Ensuring it is accessible around the world is vital for the future of the planet, its people and our global economy.

This year’s Sustainability Report highlights a number of major macro-level trends that are reshaping our industry and influencing strategic decisions at every level. These include, among others:

A broadening energy mix: electrification and complexity

The energy transition is driving unprecedented change to our power systems, with increased adoption of renewable power generation and the electrification of transportation, industry, and buildings sectors, which will require managing a vastly more complex and dynamic energy mix.

Global volatility: navigating policy shifts and supply chain disruptions

Sustainability policies and regulations are evolving rapidly, shaped by political dynamics, climate commitments, and regional and national agendas.

Hitachi Energy is actively engaging with policymakers, industry coalitions, and other stakeholders to advocate for harmonized standards and a more stable regulatory environment.

Innovation with impact: digitalization and the workforce of the future

Digitalization is key to creating a resilient and adaptable grid by enabling real-time data analysis, predictive maintenance, and the efficient integration of renewable energy.

As the energy landscape transforms, so too must the workforce that powers it. The global competition for engineering, digital and technical skills is becoming more intense.
