2) History

Hitachi Energy Ltd.’s origins trace back to the late 19th century through the convergence of pioneering electrical engineering companies that would eventually form its foundation. The company’s heritage stems from two European electrical engineering pioneers: ASEA AB, founded in Sweden in 1883 with a business broadly defined as “the generation and application of electric power,” and Brown, Boveri & Cie (BBC), established in Baden, Switzerland in 1891 by Charles Eugene Lancelot Brown and Walter Boveri. These companies developed diverse electrical equipment including steam turbines, electric locomotives, generators, transformers, and electrical equipment for locomotives.

The convergence of these electrical pioneers occurred in 1988 when ASEA and BBC merged to form ABB (ASEA Brown Boveri), creating what became the world’s leading supplier in the electric power industry. The merged entity successfully integrated 850 subsidiary companies and 180,000 employees operating in 140 countries, with ABB’s Power Grids division distinguishing itself as a key player in energy transition with innovative solutions. ABB pioneered commercial HVDC technology almost seven decades ago, undertaking around 120 HVDC projects representing more than 130,000 megawatts of installed capacity, accounting for about half of the global installed base.

On the other side of the world, Japan’s industrial revolution saw the founding of Hitachi, Ltd. in 1910 by Namihei Odaira with the mission of “contributing to society through the development of superior, original technology and products.” Hitachi’s energy business originated from the company’s determination to shift to domestic production, beginning with the manufacture of a five-horsepower motor in 1910 that has since been designated an important cultural property. Throughout the 20th century, Hitachi expanded its electrical equipment capabilities, becoming a major force in power generation, transmission, and industrial applications.

The formation of Hitachi Energy began with a strategic agreement signed on December 17, 2018, when Hitachi announced its intention to acquire ABB’s Power Grids business for approximately $6.85 billion. On July 1, 2020, the joint venture officially launched as Hitachi ABB Power Grids, with Hitachi holding an 80.1% stake and ABB retaining 19.9%. The new company began operations with approximately 36,000 employees across more than 90 countries, headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, under the leadership of CEO Claudio Facchin and Chairman Toshikazu Nishino.

The evolution to Hitachi Energy occurred on July 1, 2021, when the company announced its name change from Hitachi ABB Power Grids to Hitachi Energy, reflecting the rapidly evolving energy landscape and the opportunity to create economic, environmental and social value. The formal registration of Hitachi Energy Ltd. was completed on June 30, 2021. On December 28, 2022, Hitachi completed the acquisition process by purchasing ABB’s remaining 19.9% equity stake for approximately $1.425 billion, making Hitachi Energy a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd.

Since its formation, Hitachi Energy has pursued strategic growth through targeted acquisitions and capacity expansions. In October 2023, the company acquired a controlling stake in eks Energy, a leading supplier of power electronics and energy management solutions based in Seville, Spain, from Powin LLC. The acquisition strengthened Hitachi Energy’s position in battery energy storage systems and power conversion solutions. In August 2025, Hitachi Energy completed the acquisition of the remaining stake in eks Energy, fully integrating the company’s power conversion capabilities.

In January 2024, Hitachi Energy completed the acquisition of COET, a leading designer and manufacturer of power equipment for electric mobility, rail, and industry based in the greater Milan area of Italy. The acquisition enhanced the company’s global position in high-power electric vehicle charging infrastructure and power electronics.
