What is the amount and purpose of Hitachi Energy's new investment in China, and where will it be implemented?

Hitachi Energy is investing approximately $300 million in China to expand its power transformer manufacturing capacity and scale up transformer component production, specifically through the 'Hitachi Energy Power Transformer Smart Factory Project' signed with Hefei Economic and Technological Development Zone. This expansion builds upon its existing global transformer components operations center in Hefei—established in 1996—which already manufactures oil-impregnated paper capacitive bushings, dry-type resin-impregnated paper capacitive bushings, and on-load tap changers for applications across power grids, new energy, energy storage, hydrogen production, data centers, and rail transit.

What products does Hitachi Energy currently manufacture at its Hefei facility, and in which key industries are they used?

At its Hefei facility—operating since 1996—Hitachi Energy manufactures oil-impregnated paper capacitive bushings, dry-type resin-impregnated paper capacitive bushings, and transformer on-load tap changers. These components are widely deployed across six critical sectors: power grids, new energy, energy storage, hydrogen production, data centers, and rail transit.
