SIEMENS DRIVES SUSTAINABLE AND FUTURE-PROOF POWER DISTRIBUTION ACROSS NORWAY
The 8DJH 24 – blue GIS switchgear is a core component of Siemens’ sustainable and innovative blue GIS portfolio.

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has signed a six-year framework agreement with Norgesnett to deliver SF6 gas-free switchgear in the form of the 8DJH 24 – blue GIS switchgear, alongside compact substations.

Known as Norway’s most efficient grid operator, Norgesnett is a distribution utility operating across seven municipalities in south-eastern Norway, serving 102,000 end customers. Demonstrating clear commitment from the board down to its ambitious sustainability targets, Norgesnett has made the decision that SF6-free switchgear from Siemens is to be deployed across its grid.

The 8DJH 24 – blue GIS switchgear is a core component of Siemens’ sustainable and innovative blue GIS portfolio, designed to help electrical grids transition to eco-friendly networks. The switchgear uses Clean Air, based on natural-origin gases, is free of fluorinated and PFAS gases, and has a global warming potential (GWP) below 1. By combining Clean Air for insulation with Siemens’ proven vacuum-interrupter technology, blue GIS switchgear helps customers to reduce their carbon footprint.

SF6, or sulphur hexafluoride, is a synthetic gas that does not occur naturally in the atmosphere. This gas has traditionally been used as an insulating and current-interrupting medium in medium-voltage switchgear and installations but has a global warming potential which is 24,300 times higher than that of CO2, when viewed from a 100-year perspective. By adopting the SF6-free solution from Siemens, Norgesnett will save approximately 1,200 tonnes of CO2 compared to SF6-gas switchgear over the lifetime of the product. The proliferation by Siemens of sustainable switchgear is driving a successful energy transformation, with Clean Air as the key to sustainable and reliable grids.
