Global demand for energy has grown nearly 60% since 2000, according to the International Energy Agency.

For companies navigating the energy transition to a bigger and cleaner energy mix, they must overcome changing regulations, infrastructure and technology limitations.

As the economy electrifies and industries decarbonise, Hitachi Energy is working to enable the infrastructure that makes the transition possible while ensuring it remains reliable, affordable and inclusive.

Here, Alicia Argüello, Global Head of Sustainability at Hitachi Energy, discusses integrating sustainability into business decisions and customer solutions.

The energy transition is no longer primarily a generation challenge. It is increasingly becoming an electricity infrastructure challenge. Demand for electricity is growing rapidly, but in many regions the infrastructure needed to connect and deliver that electricity is not keeping pace.
