Hitachi Energy and Ansaldo Energia partner on integrated power solutions

Hitachi Energy and Ansaldo Energia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to develop and commercialize integrated energy solutions. The partnership aims to combine Ansaldo Energia’s expertise in gas turbines and generators with Hitachi Energy’s leadership in grid integration, including high voltage, transformers, automation, and power electronics.

The collaboration focuses on creating end-to-end solutions for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz markets, specifically targeting high-demand sectors such as data centers and energy hubs. This initiative responds to a projected doubling of global electricity demand by 2050, driven by the rapid expansion of digital infrastructure, industry, and transportation.

In the United States, the surge in artificial intelligence and data center development has created an urgent need for large-scale, rapidly deployable energy infrastructure. The companies intend to optimize power supply from generation to the point of demand, helping customers build resilient energy systems and reduce the time required to bring new capacity online.
