CHINT Global’s Push for Sustainable Energy in Europe
At Intersolar Europe 2025, the spotlight was on CHINT Global, a leader in the energy solutions space. Beibei Zheng, the Vice President of CHINT Global, passionately shared the company’s dedication to driving Europe’s energy transformation and achieving a future free of carbon emissions.
CHINT is firm in its commitment to developing low-carbon solutions that align with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards and full lifecycle criteria. Zheng emphasized that CHINT will continue to invest in innovations that not only empower its clients but also foster sustainable growth for the industry, steering it towards a smarter and greener future.
Intersolar Europe, recognized as the engine of the global new energy industry, serves as a pivotal platform for bringing together energy innovators from around the globe. Zheng outlined that CHINT’s primary objectives at this event include demonstrating its robust technical capacities, deepening local cooperation, and fulfilling sustainable commitments. The European market is characterized by its dynamic and technology-oriented nature.
The comprehensive strategy of CHINT focuses on integrated service capabilities that encompass everything from energy generation to distribution. This ensures a seamless service from manufacturing to client service, offering integrated technical solutions across various business scenarios. Additionally, all CHINT products are designed to track their carbon footprint throughout their lifecycle, complying with the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) requirements. For CHINT, Europe isn't just a market; it’s a 'laboratory for innovation' that will drive global energy transformation.
Currently, the European energy sector grapples with challenges such as fluctuating electricity prices and supply chain reconfigurations. To establish differential competitiveness, Zheng stated that CHINT prioritizes customer needs, especially in the volatile VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) market environment, highlighting that operational efficiency and energy management have become paramount concerns for clients.
CHINT positions itself as a comprehensive solutions provider, offering a complete portfolio of products designed to enhance business management. Their unique service model resolves interface conflicts and potential disputes, while their strategic partnerships enable them to deliver flexible and customized solutions with budget optimization and shorter delivery times.
Technically, CHINT has made significant strides in smart grid technology and digitalization. The company’s evolution in smart grid and digital technologies now empowers systemic changes. Using a triad of ecological drivers – artificial intelligence, data, and localization – CHINT effectively addresses real-world challenges such as grid robustness and sustainable electricity consumption, providing a technical pathway towards carbon neutrality.
Zheng believes that the essence of a company's true value lies in its ability to contribute to a better future for humanity. For CHINT, sustainable development is embedded in the corporate DNA, integrating ESG principles into its operations to promote environmental protection, cultivate multicultural environments, and enhance corporate governance capabilities. From her perspective, ESG standards not only function as compliance frameworks but also drive value, guiding corporate growth and societal progress. Through innovation, collaboration, and a mindset geared towards mutual benefit, CHINT envisions a sustainable and vibrant future.
When discussing the cultural differences and localization challenges that CHINT encounters while expanding into foreign markets, Zheng stated, “Our strategy focuses on thinking globally while acting locally.” In emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East, the company has built sales and service networks in partnership with local entities. In established markets like Europe, CHINT attracts local talent through mergers and acquisitions, establishing R&D centers to fully understand regulatory frameworks and user needs. Furthermore, CHINT is attentive to social responsibilities, exemplified by their involvement in the photovoltaic project “Lighting the Field” in Africa and promoting universal domestic photovoltaic power solutions in Latin America, striving to integrate into local communities through action.
Looking ahead, Zheng pointed out key trends that are likely to shape the new energy sector in the next three to five years. The first is the rapid diversification of energy mixes. The large-scale integration of wind, solar, energy storage, and electric vehicles is expanding application scenarios while placing increased demands on grid resilience, harmonic control, and dynamic responsiveness. In response, distribution and transmission operators are hastening the development of new electrical systems characterized by deep integration of generation, grid, load, and storage, pushing the grid towards greater efficiency, flexibility, and stability.
Secondly, technological innovation is emerging as a primary engine of industry advancement. Breakthroughs in battery technologies, network formations, and distributed storage solutions are significantly enhancing the intelligence and responsiveness of energy systems. Concurrently, leading industry players are increasingly focusing on the ecological transformation of industrial parks, where renewable energies are pivotal in carbon reduction. Green technologies, such as SF₆-free switchgear, are rapidly replacing conventional systems, contributing to emission reductions and enabling safer, more sustainable grid operations.
CHINT remains steadfast in its commitment to innovation-driven development, working closely with leading clients to collaboratively create competitive global solutions. Concentrating on energy storage, green energy distribution, and other strategic sectors, CHINT continues its investments in low-carbon solutions, aligning with ESG criteria and full lifecycle specifications, enabling its clients to achieve sustainable growth and propel the industry towards a smarter and greener future.
