A track record going back over 100 years in the power plant field, efficient products,
a highly motivated workforce and a parent company of real strength and substance: that
is Hitachi Power Europe GmbH (HPE). The energy plant constructor both designs and
builds fossil-fired power plants and – through its references – ranks as one of the market
and technology leaders. HPE also supplies key components, such as utility steam
generators, environmental engineering equipment, turbines and pulverizers.
Hitachi Power Europe’s history goes back to 1898 and the establishment of “Deutsche
Babcock & Wilcox Dampfkesselwerke AG” in Berlin. In 2003 Babcock-Hitachi K.K.,
a subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd., acquired the power engineering field and the entire knowhow
in steam generation and combined-cycle power plants of the former Babcock
Borsig Group, Oberhausen. Following complete takeover by the Hitachi Group,
the company was renamed Hitachi Power Europe GmbH in 2006.
In 2007 the energy plant constructor set up its head offices at the Inner Port of Duisburg /
North Rhine-Westphalia. Including subsidiaries, approx. 2,000 staff are on the company’s
payroll (As of: May 2013).
Along with power plant engineering and supplying key components, the plant constructor
also concerns itself with forward-looking services. Green technologies – in energy
storage and biomass, for instance – are examples of Hitachi Power Europe innovation
and reliability.
