Hitachi Energy to expand cooling systems facility

SWEDEN: Hitachi Energy is investing US$77m in an expansion of its power transmission cooling systems facilities in Landskrona, Sweden. 

The new 37,500m2 facility, around 3km from its existing site, will enable the company to consolidate its current production and office spaces under one roof. 

Hitachi Energy’s Landskrona factory manufactures advanced cooling systems for power transmission, from large HVDC converters to vehicle charging infrastructure, where deionised water removes heat during conversion between direct and alternating current.  

The investment is driven by the global shift to electrification and the rising demand for transmission solutions. 

The Landskrona facility was part of the ABB Power Grids division until 2020, when a joint venture with Hitachi led to the formation of Hitachi ABB Power Grids, rebranded as Hitachi Energy in 2021.
