ABB is investing $200 million over three years to expand its medium-voltage manufacturing capacity across Europe, including a $100 million facility in Italy and projects in Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Norway, and Poland. This investment aims to support the growing demand for modern, sustainable power distribution technologies like SF6-free switchgear and grid automation, driven by rising electricity consumption and renewable integration. The expanded capacity will help utilities, industries, and data centers modernize their power infrastructure and improve grid resilience. ABB's move aligns with global energy trends emphasizing electrification and sustainability.
