Swedish electricity supplier embraces sustainable retrofit solution
An ABB case study
As part of its efforts to achieve net zero fossil carbon dioxide emissions, Mälarenergi has partnered with ABB to upgrade its switchgear with retrofit solutions at its cogeneration plant in Västerås.
By replacing the plant's aging circuit breakers with modern Emax2 models — featuring Ekip Hi-Touch relay protection and energy metering — the electrical circuits are not only fully protected but also feature new technologies that reduce energy consumption, saving valuable time, costs, and resources. It also means most of the critical infrastructure has had its life span extended, avoiding manufacturing an entire new system, which means less emissions and costs.
