Overview

About ABB
ABB is a global technology leader in electrification and automation. We see our purpose as being to enable a more sustainable and resource-efficient future. By connecting our engineering and digitalization expertise, we help industries run at high performance, while becoming more efficient, productive and sustainable so they outperform. We call this: ‘Engineered to Outrun.’ We have around 110,000 employees worldwide and a history that stretches back more than 140 years.


Energy Industries
ABB Energy Industries has delivered some of the world’s largest Automation and Electrification projects across key energy sectors, including:

• Power Generation
• New Energy Transitions
• Chemicals & Refining
• Oil & Gas
• Water
• Life Sciences

Our mission is to help industrial customers digitalize, automate, and electrify to consistently outperform — what we call Engineered to Outrun — enabled by integrated solutions and a workforce of 110,000 across 85 countries and 460 cities.

In Australia, ABB’s heritage spans back to the late 19th century. Today, with more than 650 employees across Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Melbourne, we provide nationwide support and service coverage.

Our technologies integrate automation, electrification, and digital solutions to enhance performance, system awareness, and digital continuity — enabling grid, energy, and industrial customers to operate more productively, efficiently, and sustainably while navigating energy, carbon, and digital transitions.

We help industry outrun disruption by addressing key challenges:
1. Energy Transition – Decarbonization, renewables integration, carbon transition
2. Energy Infrastructure Availability – Access, cost, modernization, and integration
3. Performance – Technology readiness and cyber resilience
4. Supply Chain & Geopolitical Constraints
5. Rising Costs & Financial Confidence

From delivering some of the world’s largest projects, we know that siloed approaches — separating Automation, Electrification, and Grid Generation — increase costs, complexity, and risk. Our integrated designs overcome these barriers, delivering robust, future-ready solutions.

We also understand the complexities of maintaining system strength, stability, and inertia as coal-fired plants retire — alongside the challenges of stable frequency and voltage during disturbances, while balancing shareholder, public, and government expectations.
