Electrifying the world in a safe, smart and sustainable way
Power system experts and users connect at CIRED 2023, the international show and conference on electricity distribution in Rome, Italy, to exhibit their flagship products and introduce the latest innovations to electrify the world.
As electricity and digital technologies underpin all modern economies, our reliance on it is ever-increasing. Electrification powered by a growth in variable renewable power generation brings a host of new challenges associated with an increasingly complex and less predictable grid.
That’s why ABB develops cutting-edge technologies to protect and automate energy distribution and enhance grid resilience. With ABB Ability™ enabled digital solutions at its core, our extensive portfolio provides utility, industrial and commercial customers with safe, smart and sustainable technologies.
Come and visit us at the E05 ABB stand from 12 to 15 June. You’ll have the opportunity to learn more about our products and meet our experts at the booth.

Electricity is a secondary energy source: it is generated through the conversion of primary energy sources such as natural gas, coal, solar, hydropower, and wind. Electricity’s versatility is not cost-free: a substantial amount of energy is lost in its generation and the cost of storage is high, compared with fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. The economics of battery technology hold the key to expanded use of renewable sources to generate electricity.
