Introduction

As Europe gears up for a significant transition in its electric power network, CHINT, a leading provider of integrated electrical solutions, is poised to unveil its innovative network technologies at the upcoming CIGRE 2026 event. Scheduled from August 23 to 28 at the Palais des Congrès in Paris, this year’s exhibition is themed around bolstering grid resilience as the landscape of energy evolves rapidly. The integration of renewable energy sources and the increasing demand from AI data centers necessitate a modernization of infrastructures to ensure a more adaptable and robust electricity supply.

The Importance of Infrastructure Investment

According to preliminary statements by the ETIP SNET, Europe will require an estimated investment of €650 to €900 billion in network infrastructures between 2026 and 2035. This critical investment underscores the urgency for advanced solutions that can cater to the modern demands of electric grid management. At CIGRE 2026, CHINT aims to present a wide array of technologies focused on the modern transportation and distribution (TD) of electricity. This includes solutions that address various challenges faced by transmission system operators (TSOs), distribution system operators (DSOs), and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms throughout Europe.

CHINT’s Comprehensive Solutions for the Future

CHINT’s showcase will emphasize its entire portfolio of electric transport and distribution solutions, which are specifically designed to enhance network capacity, resilience, and flexibility. This includes:

• - Green and High-Voltage Electricity Networks: Featuring low-loss and low-noise oil-immersed power transformers rated at 1,000 kV alongside natural ester oil transformers of 750 kV, all compliant with the latest environmental standards.
• - Energy Storage & Digital Infrastructure (BESS/AIDC): Highlighting cascading battery energy storage systems, prefabricated substations, semiconductor transformers, and power supply modules for AI data centers, which are pivotal in managing the growing demand for energy.

Tailoring Solutions to Today’s Energy Needs

The rise in the need for reliable electricity is pervasive across Europe, fueled by public interest in renewable energy production and the surge in electrification. CHINT’s comprehensive offerings can support utilities and infrastructure developers in constructing networks that are both sustainable and efficient.

CHINT has established a significant presence across Europe, striving to meet the unique local market needs by providing tailored technical expertise alongside a diverse product range. This includes power transformers, connection appliances, substations, and smart grid solutions. Through combining global technological capabilities with localized service knowledge, CHINT aims to support their customers in developing reliable electrical networks that can meet contemporary and future demands.

Engaging Discussions and Evolving Technologies

CHINT's Vice President, Beibei Zheng, stated, "The European electricity grid is evolving faster than ever. In addition to integrating renewable energy, utilities are preparing their networks to support the rapid growth of AI and digital infrastructure. At CIGRE 2026, we aim to engage with our clients and partners to explore the technologies that will be key in building networks that are robust, intelligent, and sustainable for generations to come."
