While the current state of energy supply is facing a period of change on a global scale, the immediate issues facing each region of the world are different. This article presents examples of collaborative creation with customers in regions that are taking the initiative in dealing with these various issues, accompanied by an explanation of the global deployment strategies being pursued in each of the areas-regional grids, transmission systems, and retailers-that make up an energy solution. Hitachi intends to contribute to social innovation by utilizing the knowledge it has acquired in these areas to work collaboratively with customers on implementing energy solutions that fit the characteristics and requirements of each region, using a broad range of equipment and system technologies, and IT.
