Schneider Electric and E.ON have signed a long-term framework agreement that promotes the implementation of sustainable energy technologies in Europe. This agreement aims to accelerate the deployment of medium-voltage equipment free of SF₆, in response to the upcoming European regulations on fluorinated gases, which will take effect in January 2026. Schneider Electric will assume responsibility for supplying a significant portion of the necessary equipment, including both primary and secondary systems.
The collaboration between both companies is based on more than two decades of joint work focused on building sustainable, intelligent, and efficient energy infrastructures. Lisbeth Buschkühl, Chief Procurement Officer of E.ON, emphasized that this contract ensures access to SF₆-free technologies, thereby promoting standardization in the industry.
The agreement envisions the annual delivery of primary GM-AirSeT and secondary RM-AirSeT equipment. Before formalizing the contract, a pilot project was conducted with SF₆-free medium-voltage equipment at Westnetz, a subsidiary of E.ON, to verify its feasibility. This initiative reflects the growing trust in Schneider Electric’s capabilities.
Melton Chang, Executive Vice President of Power Systems at Schneider Electric, emphasized that this collaboration is crucial for accelerating the transition toward a more sustainable and digital energy infrastructure. Schneider’s investment in a portfolio of SF₆-free solutions has been substantial, with production facilities located in Germany and Hungary ensuring both efficiency and high quality in production.
The environmental impact of SF₆ is significant, as its global warming potential is 24,300 times greater than that of CO₂, making its elimination in the electric sector urgent. With new regulations on the horizon, the transition to sustainable alternatives becomes crucial. Schneider Electric not only aligns with these requirements but also seeks to expand its range of equipment utilizing alternative technologies, which have already been validated in various applications across Europe.
The AirSeT technology, designed to replace SF₆ with clean air and vacuum, has been recognized in the industry, winning, among other accolades, the prestigious iF Design Award. Its effectiveness has also been confirmed in projects such as Romande Energie in Switzerland and EAM Netz in Germany, solidifying its position as an innovative solution for a more sustainable energy future.
