E.ON: Customer Story Key Points
Reduced health risk for customers and employees
Optimised operating expenditures
Improved reliability of energy supply
Distributing energy the sustainable way
E.ON, the largest electricity distributor in Sweden, is piloting our breakthrough SF₆-free switchgear technology – with impressive results.
- E.ON is committed to becoming fossil fuel-free by 2025 and cutting the risk of greenhouse gas emissions.
- SF₆ is a man-made greenhouse gas which is commonly used in electrical switchgear.
- To take a step towards a more sustainable and greener network, E.ON decided to look for an SF₆-free replacement for their switchgear.
Sustainability and reliability with EcoStruxure for Power and Grid
Connected products: SF6-free switchgear, PowerLogic T300
- Our new SF₆-free switchgear technology was chosen for a pilot project in Norrköping.
- The switchgear met all of E.ON’s expectations, including environmental friendliness, compliance with the energy transition happening in Sweden, high safety, and interoperability with their existing equipment.
- Together with the SF₆-free switchgear, E.ON. has also implemented the PowerLogic T300 remote terminal unit (RTU) to gain greater insight into network operations.
- Implementing the SF₆-free switchgear is a huge step forward for E.ON towards a more sustainable, greenhouse gas-free distribution network.
- Greater insight into network operations enabled early fault detection, improved reliability across the grid, and allowed for more effective, better-planned maintenance operations.
