Linxon

Linxon is a global engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company focused on high‑voltage AC substations and related electrification infrastructure. Formed as a joint venture between AtkinsRéalis and Hitachi Energy, it commenced operations in 2018 to combine project management capabilities with grid‑technology expertise in a company dedicated to substations and grid connections. Linxon delivers turnkey design, engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and after‑sales support for substations serving renewable and conventional power generation, power transmission networks, rail and mass transit systems, utilities, data centers and battery energy storage plants. The company positions itself as a single point of contact that integrates equipment from key suppliers, including direct access to Hitachi Energy products, and has executed more than 600 projects worldwide. Linxon operates through regional hubs in the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific/Middle East & Africa, supported by around 19 main offices and additional satellite locations, including Baden (Switzerland), the UK, Sweden, India, Thailand, the Middle East, North America and a regional headquarters in Riyadh. Its customer base is dominated by transmission system operators and utilities, such as National Grid in the UK, Svenska kraftnät in Sweden, and SSEN Transmission and SP Energy Networks in Scotland, alongside developers and industrial clients in segments like offshore wind, large solar parks, petrochemicals and data centers. The company has expanded into large‑scale energy storage, including a strategic partnership with Available Power for a 1 GW ERCOT battery pipeline and a 100 MW/200 MWh project in Texas, and reported securing about $1 billion of new turnkey orders in 2024. Sustainability and safety are central to Linxon’s strategy. It states a purpose of building infrastructure to power the world with carbon‑free energy, seeks to minimise lifecycle emissions through design, procurement and construction choices, and has adopted SF₆‑free substation technologies in projects such as National Grid’s London Power Tunnels. Linxon targets a 50% reduction in CO₂ emissions across its operations by 2030 and net‑zero emissions by 2050, and is working to cut supply‑chain carbon and transition construction equipment to low‑carbon energy. Its HSE, quality and ethics frameworks emphasise zero harm, regulatory compliance, continuous improvement and human‑rights and corporate‑social‑responsibility commitments, while investment in digital tools such as AI‑enabled reality capture and joint high‑voltage training with Hitachi Energy underpins execution quality and skills development.
