Vietnam, Bac Ninh: Hitachi Energy has inaugurated its cutting-edge transformers factory in Bac Ninh, Vietnam.
“Vietnam’s Power Development Plan sets clear pathways for a carbon neutral energy system by 2050, including strengthening its position as a leading manufacturing base in the region,” said Chandan Singh, Country Managing Director – Vietnam, Hitachi Energy. “This factory underscores our continued commitment to advancing a sustainable energy future for all.”
Electricity will be the backbone of the entire energy system and this factory ensures that the operations in Vietnam can contribute to the energy transition in the region and the world. It specializes in liquid-filled power and distribution transformers (including distribution transformers with TVP® (Transient Voltage Protection) Technology, which enhances the reliability of distribution transformers) and is set to nearly double the previous factory’s annual capacity while adhering to the most stringent global standards. This expansion empowers utilities, industries, and infrastructure sectors across the Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa to enhance transformer asset performance while minimizing environmental impact.
This investment aligns with the company’s global capacity expansion plan to meet the accelerating energy transition demand. “The Bac Ninh factory inauguration will help us in advancing the world’s energy system to be more sustainable, flexible and secure,” said Bruno Melles, Managing Director, Business Unit Transformers, Hitachi Energy.
The factory employs more than 500 people to support the social and economic progress of the community. The company is committed to sustainability with the factory receiving the LEED Gold certification, with the use of 100 percent fossil-free electricity in its operations and has designed following environmentally responsible measures such as high Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) roof materials, rainwater harvesting, wastewater recycling, and indoor air quality monitoring with CO2 sensors.
