Expert Statements
Stefan Reisacher, CEO of Linxon
“The energy transition is no longer constrained by demand. It is increasingly constrained by execution capacity, supply chain availability, and the industry's ability to scale. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in addressing those challenges. By bringing together Linxon's EPC expertise, Hitachi Energy's industry-leading grid and power technologies, and FTC Solar's innovative and highly constructible solar infrastructure solutions, we are creating a powerful ecosystem that enables customers to move faster, reduce risk, and execute large-scale renewable energy projects with greater certainty and predictability. Together, we are building a delivery platform designed for the next generation of energy infrastructure.”
Massimo Danieli, CEO Grid Automation at Hitachi Energy
“The electricity era requires infrastructure that can expand faster, operate more intelligently and remain resilient as demand grows. Through this agreement, we can better align technology innovation, manufacturing capability, grid integration expertise and project execution to help customers accelerate renewable energy deployment while supporting the reliable, secure and sustainable power systems that society depends on.”
Anthony Caroll, CEO of FTC Solar
“Maximizing the efficiency and long-term value of utility-scale renewable projects requires more than best-in-class technologies—it requires like-minded partners leveraging and integrating those solutions in ways that enhance scalability, constructability, and long-term performance. This collaboration creates a compelling value proposition for developers, utilities, and investors seeking predictable project outcomes and accelerated deployment.”
RALEIGH, N.C., Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Linxon, Hitachi Energy and FTC Solar (Nasdaq: FTCI) today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) establishing a strategic collaboration framework to jointly pursue and deliver utility-scale solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects across North America and other mutually agreed markets.
The collaboration brings together three industry leaders with complementary capabilities to help address one of the defining challenges of the electricity era: scaling the infrastructure needed to integrate more renewable energy, strengthen grid resilience, and deliver reliable, affordable and sustainable power. By aligning technology, manufacturing and execution expertise, the three companies aim to provide customers with a more integrated, scalable and execution-focused solution that accelerates project development, reduces delivery risk, and enhances certainty across the entire project lifecycle.
