Increasing robustness

The existing infrastructure needs to be made more resilient and flexible to cope with fluctuations in energy supply and ever-increasing demand.

Our highly efficient Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) play an important role in balancing these fluctuations and maintaining robustness. We also offer the world’s most sustainable portfolio of grid technologies, including high-voltage clean-air switchgear and transformers, HVDC services and digital solutions.
