Carbon-Free Electricity
As the imperative to act against
climate change intensifies, the idea of
achieving a carbon-free energy
system by 20501 is shifting from an
objective to a responsibility.
The Biden administration has already
set the even more aggressive goal of
transitioning to carbon-free electricity
by 2035.1

Powering the Green Enablers
Hitachi Energy recognizes that tapping into the control and automation enabled by artificial intelligence (AI)
is essential to meeting today’s energy resource distribution challenges
 Digitalization will be the key in making the power grids
more flexible and reliable while also allowing energy
organizations to integrate more renewable energy
sources.
 Technology innovations such as smart devices enabled by
the Internet of Things (IoT) has made renewable energy,
most notably residential- and campus-scale solar power,
more accessible logistically and financially, while the
cloud and open APIs streamline the process of integrating
those innovations within a legacy infrastructure.
 The final enabler is the creation of a modern, connected
grid ecosystem that not only monitors and responds to
fluctuations in energy demand but also connects
regulatory entities, operators, and distributed generation
assets.

Real World Insights
88 percent of wind resources in the U.S. are located
between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi
River,2 but most consumption occurs on the coasts.
Hitachi is playing an integral role in helping energy
decision-makers invest more in transmission
infrastructure to expand the grid, and build
technologies to make this infrastructure more
reliable and efficient.
By leveraging the power of data and artificial
intelligence (AI), which is rapidly becoming a critical
element of the modern grid and the modern utility
toolbox, Hitachi Energy is meeting today’s energy
resource distribution challenges.
