Few companies are as tightly woven into the fabric of global energy infrastructure as Schneider Electric. The French firm serves all sectors, from data centres and factories to utilities and hospitals.
Central to Schneider’ s work is EcoStruxure, an IoT platform capable of embedding intelligence into infrastructure. With EcoStruxure, users are able to control and optimise their technology and machinery in real time. The upshot? Cost savings and emissions reductions.
For grid operators, the company’ s pitch is simple. A stressed grid needs digitalisation more than ever. Schneider is able to provide them with this, thanks to its vast portfolio of products spanning microgrids, machinery and intelligent software.
The firm’ s environmental credentials are equally striking. Since 2018, Schneider’ s energy-saving products, software and services have helped customers save or avoid 679 million tonnes of CO₂.
With a presence in more than 100 countries and full-year 2024 revenues reaching an all-time high of US $ 44bn, Schneider’ s scale is formidable. In an era when the energy sector must simultaneously decarbonise, digitise, and expand capacity, the French industrial titan looks exceptionally well placed.
