Hong Kong, May 13, 2025 – Schneider Electric, the global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has been ranked No. 1 globally in ABI Research’s 2025 Competitive Ranking on Grid Digitalization Technologies. ABI Research is a global technology market intelligence firm that provides strategic guidance on transformative technologies, including IoT, artificial intelligence (AI), and industrial automation for vendors, enterprises, and governments. The report assesses leading providers across a wide range of innovation and implementation criteria, with Schneider Electric emerging as the top vendor due to the strength of its software and commitment to sustainability, flexibility, and operational excellence.
According to ABI Research, “Schneider Electric scored highest in the general ranking, combining a comprehensive, dedicated, and market-leading grid technologies suite with strong adoption, a robust ecosystem approach, and a firm commitment to sustainability.” The report specifically highlighted Schneider Electric’s advanced offerings across its EcoStruxure Advanced Distribution Management Systems, EcoStruxure Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems, Outage Management Systems, energy and flexibility trading, and virtual substations — all delivered through a modular, interoperable platform.
“Earning this recognition from ABI Research as the top global provider of grid digitalization technologies is a tremendous achievement,” said Ruben Llanes, CEO of Digital Grid at Schneider Electric. “This ranking reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and the strong partnerships we’ve built across the energy ecosystem. Our solutions are built to support utilities in managing today’s challenges, advancing grid modernization, and delivering reliable, sustainable outcomes in a rapidly changing energy landscape — the very capabilities that earned us this recognition.”
ABI Research praised Schneider’s “unparalleled depth of coverage, alongside industry-leading sustainability and ecosystem approaches,” emphasizing its position as the “highest recommended software partner for transmission system operators, distribution system operators, and energy utilities looking to digitalize grids and grid assets.”
The No. 1 ranking by ABI Research follows the recent debut of Schneider Electric’s One Digital Grid Platform, an integrated and AI-powered platform designed to enhance grid resiliency, reliability and efficiency. Built on an open, modular framework, the new platform provides the data and technical foundation to integrate independent software solutions, enabling utilities to accelerate grid modernization and deliver cleaner and more affordable energy. The platform empowers utilities to streamline operations and reduce engineering and maintenance costs.
On May 22, Ruben Llanes will participate in a panel hosted by the International Climate Webinar Series titled “Energy and Grid Transition by 2050,” where industry leaders will explore how technology is helping utilities modernize faster, streamline decision-making, and enhance grid reliability in the face of rising demand and operational challenges.
