Order intake is planned for 2027, with first deliveries expected in 2028. Its globally available Galaxy VXL uninterruptible power supply delivers up to 1.25 MW per frame and uses up to 70% less space than predecessor systems.
Schneider Electric (SBGSF) launched Modicon automation enhancements and is showcasing water-sector technologies at WEFTEC 2026 in New Orleans.
The new Modicon release is certified to IEC 62443-3-3 Security Level 2 and adds encrypted firmware, network authentication and role-based access control. Schneider Electric says the enhancements are designed to strengthen cybersecurity for industrial automation and water operations. Its exhibit also includes automation, motor-control and water-management software. CITI, a water-sector systems integrator, has achieved Alliance Master status in Schneider Electric’s industrial automation partner program. WEFTEC runs September 26–30.
Schneider Electric (SBGSF) is showcasing new research, partnerships and programming at Climate Week NYC 2026 to advance AI-enabled building efficiency, building modernization and resource‑efficient AI infrastructure.
A white paper on AI‑enabled building optimization estimates up to 22% energy savings versus buildings without AI, with 7.2%–12.7% attributed to the AI layer and modeled annual utility savings of $13,600–$49,300 per building. Peer‑reviewed work with Boston University finds the main constraint on building modernization is deployment capacity, not technology cost. A 100 MW data center analysis shows an optimized liquid‑cooled AI design using adiabatic heat rejection can cut annual on‑site cooling water use by 48% in Dallas and 53% in Paris versus an air‑cooled AI design.
Schneider Electric is also expanding supply‑chain decarbonization via Lenovo 360 Circle, bringing its Decarbonization Champion program to over 860 IT channel partners, and cites a 56% reduction in operational CO₂ emissions among its top 1,000 suppliers between 2021 and 2025.
Schneider Electric (OTC: SBGSF) launched Schneider Charge, a smart Level 2 residential EV charger now available in the United States and Canada. It is designed to enable safe, reliable 11.5 kW/48A home charging within existing electrical capacity, potentially avoiding costly panel and service upgrades.
Using built-in SmartAmp dynamic load management, Schneider Charge monitors whole-home electricity use in real time and automatically adjusts charging speed, without extra gateway hardware. The charger works with NACS (J3400) and J1772 connectors, offers app-based control and scheduling, is OCPP 1.6-compliant, UL 3141-certified, and initially available as a hardwired unit, with a plug-in version planned for early 2027.
Schneider Electric (OTC: SBGSF) launched the next-generation APC Smart-UPS, described as the industry's first monolithic multi-chemistry UPS for distributed IT and edge environments. The system can run on VRLA or lithium-ion batteries and is engineered to support future chemistries, allowing battery upgrades without replacing the UPS chassis.
According to Schneider Electric, the platform delivers up to 3x base runtime, 1.4x more power density, 57% more outlets, and up to 40% lower power loss versus prior Smart-UPS models, and supports up to 10 external battery packs. Design changes target sustainability, with up to 25.6% lower carbon, up to 50% sustainable plastics, and ENERGY STAR UPS 2.0 certification. The first SRTD On-Line series models (2.2kVA and 3kVA) are slated for North American orders starting September 1, 2026.
Schneider Electric (OTC: SBGSF) announced a major upgrade to its Schneider Charge Pro Level 2 commercial EV charger for the U.S. market. The solution targets multi-unit dwellings, workplaces, fleets, and public or destination charging sites, combining integrated hardware, services and EV Connect Software+™ management.
Key enhancements include built-in charging management with one year of EV Connect Software+™, faster commissioning, QR code app-free driver activation, cybersecurity-focused design, support for both J1772 and NACS connectors up to 80 A, and a five-year hardware warranty. Charge Pro is designed to integrate with Schneider Electric’s broader electrical infrastructure and certified installation partners to support scalable, site-wide energy and load management.
Schneider Electric (SBGSF) announced a collaboration with Southern California Edison to deploy SF₆-free, gas-insulated switchgear in existing substations. Using pure air and vacuum, the systems are expected to double capacity within the current footprint and be installed starting in 2027.
