🌍World Economic Forum Recap We’re bringing A Spirit of Dialogue to global leaders at this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos. Yesterday was a busy day of dialogue discussing how energy is a critical security issue.    This included hosting a panel with Economist Impact on powering the age of electricity where our CEO discussed energy security, AI, and the future grid. Other highlights included high-level meetings, energy transition roundtables, and bilateral meetings with key leaders in business, the media, government, and academia.    Sign up to follow our progress at WEF 2026 as we discuss building a grid fit-for-the-future that will ensure resilient, secure, and affordable energy➡️ https://lnkd.in/e-RUtPjg #HitachiEnergy #WEF2026 #EnergyTransition

🌍 Dispatch from Davos Flexibility is the name of the game. We are truly entering the electricity era, and the power grid has shifted to become a central enabler of security, growth, and prosperity. Our team is in Davos, highlighting the critical role of electricity and making the case to accelerate grid investment, implement projects faster, streamline regulation, and address supply chain challenges. ⚡Hear from our CEO Andreas Schierenbeck on the ground at the World Economic Forum in Davos. #HitachiEnergy #WEF26 #Davos

Hallo from Davos!  After two days at the WEF annual meeting, one thing is unmistakable: this edition is seeing the highest level of government and business engagement in the Forum’s history. Not surprising. We are living through an accelerated transition, one that brings a fair share of uncertainty. Yet, amid all this uncertainty, one certainty clearly stands out: the world is going electric. You hear it in almost every conversation we’re having in Davos. Electricity is the backbone of modern society. It powers how we heat and cool our homes, how we move with EVs, how our devices work, how industry operates, and how the fastest-growing industry of data centres and AI keeps scaling. Reflecting this reality, more than half of global energy investment is now flowing into electrification and power grids. This shift places Hitachi right at the heart of today’s most critical conversations. What the world increasingly needs is exactly what we at Hitachi Energy are experts in building. A clear message echoed across Davos: Developing transmission is now more critical than developing power generation. Power generation, renewables, conventional sources, and even the renaissance of nuclear, is scalable and diverse enough to meet rising demand and support national energy sovereignty. But without resilient, well-designed power grids, electrons simply don’t reach where they are needed. The challenge ahead is not just building more grids, but building them smarter, more resilient, without driving excessive investment, flexible to adapt to fast-changing demand; technologically fit-for-purpose, selecting the right solution for each application; supported by legislation that enables dynamic markets and accelerates project deployment. There is no future of energy abundance and affordability without power transmission. Good news, we have all it takes to make that happen.

When Leadership inspires what’s next in Education 💡 Last week, Barbara Stolle-Amedick, Global Head of Supply Chain Management in the Business Unit Transformers, shared her vast experience and leadership insights in a keynote speech at the University of St. Gallen - HSG in Switzerland. The "Transforming Supply Chain Strategy: The Hitachi Energy Approach” masterclass was part of the extensive Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) Strategic Procurement program at the university's Institute for Marketing and Customer Insight | IMC-HSG. Barbara had the opportunity to showcase to the experienced Executive audience how our team at Hitachi Energy became a case study of the successful integration of the supply chain strategy into business outcomes amid different challenges and opportunities. We are very proud of Barbara and our Supply Chain Team in leading what’s next in the industry! We are fully #ProudToBeHitachiEnergy. ❤️ #HitachiEnergy #Transformers #HitachiEnergyTransformers #Leadership

Once again, Hitachi Energy is redefining what’s possible with EconiQ® SF₆-free technology! 🌿 On January 16, we successfully completed the manufacturing and routine testing of the world’s first EconiQ 550 kV Gas-Insulated Switchgear to the State Grid Corporation of China, setting a new benchmark for high-voltage applications. This milestone sends a clear signal to the industry: high-voltage networks can move beyond SF₆. It marks a key step toward largescale, high-voltage operations without SF₆, helping accelerate the transition to a low-carbon grid in Central China.

Europe’s energy transition is accelerating – but the labor force isn’t. Jobs in clean energy are growing faster than training systems can deliver skilled talent. Without new approaches, progress on renewables, power grids, and energy security could stall within this decade. Catch us at #BloombergHouse in Davos for a panel discussion featuring Andreas Schierenbeck, CEO of Hitachi Energy, and Peter Burke, Ireland’s Minister of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment. Moderated by Leigh Gilmore, Global Head, Bloomberg Live, the session will explore who should build the skills Europe urgently needs and how to unlock a future ready energy workforce.

Greetings from #Davos! AI acceleration, industrial transformation, and rapid electrification are driving electricity demand to unprecedented levels. At the same time, ageing grids, skills shortages, and growing cyber and physical threats are putting global stability at risk. At #WEF26, together with our Hitachi colleagues, we’re bringing “A Spirit of Dialogue” to global leaders. Throughout the week, we’ll be leading conversations on future-ready grids, critical infrastructure resilience, and the policy frameworks needed to power a more volatile world.
