Hitachi Energy launched the new platform at WindEurope in Madrid. EcoSpace enables utilities, grid developers, and investors to make faster, data‑driven decisions while meeting the growing demand for credible, transparent, and strategic sustainability reporting.
Part of the recently launched HMAX Energy portfolio, Hitachi’s AI-powered suite of services and solutions designed to safeguard critical energy infrastructure, EcoSpace transforms environmental data into actionable insights. This enables customers to shift sustainability reporting from a compliance requirement to a strategic advantage.
EcoSpace transforms complex sustainability data into real-time, decision-ready insight. By analysing the complete lifecycle of power grid systems – from raw materials and logistics to installation and operations – the platform enables visualisation of how environmental performance evolves across project phases, regions, and applications. Through intuitive dashboards, it enables customers to instantly assess the carbon impact of design choices, compare alternative project scenarios, and identify concrete opportunities to reduce emissions.
As sustainability increasingly shapes public tenders and investment decisions, EcoSpace helps stakeholders meet these rising expectations by delivering the transparency and compliance now standard across the energy sector.
By embedding sustainability metrics into every phase of a project, EcoSpace addresses the growing demand for transparent CO₂ emissions reporting along the entire energy value chain. It enables informed choices that balance environmental impact and business objectives. The platform’s methodology is endorsed by DNV, an independent, industry-wide certification body, ensuring credibility and consistency.
EcoSpace has already demonstrated measurable impact in a multitude of real‑world power grid projects. A notable example is its application in collaboration with Statnett, Norway’s transmission system operator, at their 420-kilovolt (kV) substation in Oslo3. By applying EcoSpace across the project lifecycle, the initiative showed that a 20 percent reduction in the system’s total carbon footprint will be achieved over its 30‑year lifespan.
The platform has been engineered to help organisations stay ahead of rapidly evolving global and local regulations, strengthening financing opportunities and stakeholder trust through a robust, data-driven methodology.
