Huawei Digital Power Launches Global Initiative to Accelerate Grid-Forming and AI Integration in Energy Transition — Huawei Digital Power Technologies Co., Ltd.

Event summary

Huawei Digital Power co-hosted the 2026 Global Low-Carbon Industry Forum in Shenzhen on September 15, 2026, focusing on integrating grid-forming and AI technologies to bridge the global electricity gap.
The forum launched the Global Joint Initiative on Grid Forming & AI, uniting industry partners to standardize and scale these technologies.
Huawei's FusionSolar Agent, featuring a four-layer AI architecture, aims to redefine intelligent management of solar PV, wind, and energy storage systems.
The MTerra Solar Grid-Forming PV+ESS project in the Philippines, the world's largest of its kind, began commercial operations on August 26, 2026, delivering power to 2.4 million households and reducing carbon emissions by 4.3 million tons annually.

The big picture

The global energy landscape is shifting from fossil fuel dependence to renewable energy independence, driven by technological advancements in grid-forming and AI integration. Huawei Digital Power's initiative aims to address the structural challenges of energy transition, from system safety in high-renewable regions to inclusive access in underdeveloped areas. The success of large-scale projects like the MTerra Solar Grid-Forming PV+ESS project in the Philippines could set a replicable model for the global clean energy transition.
