Abu Dhabi, UAE, Jan 21, 2014 - ABB, the global power and automation technology group, has been
awarded the Zayed Future Energy Prize 2014 in recognition of its efforts to drive innovation, renewable
energy and energy efficiency.
"It is a great honor to have won the Zayed Future Energy Prize 2014,” said ABB Chief Executive
Officer, Ulrich Spiesshofer. “ABB stands for power and productivity for a better world. This prize
underlines our relentless drive for innovation to create new offerings and value propositions for our
clients in the renewable energy and energy efficiency fields.”
The award in the category ‘Large Corporations’ was presented to Spiesshofer by His Highness General
Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme
Commander of the Armed Forces of the United Arab Emirates at a glittering awards ceremony in Abu
Dhabi, the capital city of the UAE. The Zayed Future Energy Prize was launched in 2008 to recognize
and reward the very best solutions in renewable energy and sustainability. It was named in honor of the
late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who was a founder of the UAE, ruler of Abu Dhabi, and the
UAE’s first president from 1971 until his death in 2004.
“This award brings with it the responsibility to spread the vision and environmental stewardship of the
late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan,” Spiesshofer added. “We will ensure that ABB serves as a role
model to promote the prize as an incentive to spur further innovation in sustainable energy technologies
around the world. Winning this prize will strengthen our belief and make us even more determined to
pursue our vision, mission and strategy towards sustainable energy and towards a sustainable future.”
ABB has a 125-year heritage of technology innovation.
It pioneered HVDC (high voltage direct current) technology nearly 60 years ago, enabling large volumes
of power to be transmitted over thousands of kilometers, with minimal losses and environmental impact.
This technology is being extensively deployed to bring power from remote renewable energy sources
to major consumption centers. ABB has been awarded around 90 HVDC projects representing a total
installed capacity of more than 95,000 megawatts (MW), which accounts for about half of the global
installed base
