The companies intend to develop integrated power generation and electrification solutions for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz markets, including deployment in data centres. They expect global electricity demand to nearly double by 2050. They believe the challenge to be particularly acute in the United States with the growth of AI and data centres driving a massive and rapid growth in demand for power.

Andreas Schierenbeck, CEO of Hitachi Energy, said: “Power demand is growing at a pace we have not seen for decades. As power demand continues to outpace available infrastructure, the need for scalable, rapidly deployable power solutions has become increasingly urgent.”

Fabrizio Fabbri, CEO of Ansaldo Energia, said: “Combining Ansaldo Energia’s power generation technologies with Hitachi Energy’s expertise in grid infrastructure, we will provide integrated solutions that accelerate deployment and deliver the scale, flexibility, and reliability required by the next generation of industrial, digital, and energy infrastructure.”
