Hitachi Energy is leading the change in developing and deploying SF6-free high-voltage switchgear. Through close collaboration with customers, the company has successfully brought its EconiQ™ technology to the market, offering a sustainable alternative to SF6 gas, an environmental liability for switchgear users. Projects with major grid operators have demonstrated the commercial viability, technical performance, and reliability of EconiQ technology up to the highest voltage and current ratings. Hitachi Energy’s commitment to research and development, together with the grid operators’ commitment to reduce the use of SF6 steeply, is accelerating the transition to a more sustainable power grid.
