CHINT Unveils Next-Generation Grid Technologies at CIGRE 2026 in Paris
CHINT is making waves in the energy sector by presenting its next-generation grid technologies at the CIGRE 2026 event happening from August 23 to 28 in Paris, France. As Europe's electrical system advances, the integration of renewable energy and increasing demand for electricity necessitate modern infrastructures. CHINT's exhibition will emphasize solutions that enhance the resilience and flexibility of the electrical grid.
The demand for robust electrical networks is rapidly accelerating, with a predicted investment requirement of approximately €650 to €900 billion in grid infrastructure across Europe from 2026 to 2035, according to ETIP SNET's position paper. Addressing this critical need, CHINT, a trusted provider of integrated energy solutions, will present its comprehensive portfolio of transmission and distribution (TD) technologies designed to tackle the challenges faced by Transmission System Operators (TSOs), Distribution System Operators (DSOs), and Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractors in Europe.
Situated at Booth A196 on Level 1, CHINT will demonstrate an array of advanced solutions, including energy storage systems and artificial intelligence data center infrastructure (AIDC). These innovations are poised to support grid modernization, enhancing operational resilience amid evolving energy demands.
Among the cutting-edge technologies showcased are low-loss 1,000 kV power transformers and 750 kV natural ester-filled transformers, alongside SF₆-free equipment, including encapsulated substations. Furthermore, CHINT will present state-of-the-art energy storage systems and integrated substation solutions that not only meet current electrical demands but also future-proof the networks against upcoming challenges.
International collaboration is vital as utilities and infrastructure developers across Europe strive for reliable, scalable, and green networks to accommodate surging electricity needs and expanding renewable generation. In an era dominated by digital transformation, CHINT is committed to leveraging its global capabilities to deliver local expertise, ensuring that customers benefit from reliable, efficient, and sustainable energy networks.
"The European grid is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Utilities are not just integrating renewable energies; they are preparing their grids to support rapid growth in AI technology, electrification, and digital infrastructure," stated Beibei Zheng, Vice President of CHINT Global.
In an effort to shape the future of Europe's energy landscape, CHINT extends invitations for TSO and DSO operators, EPC contractors, and media representatives to attend panel discussions and visit Booth A196. This collaborative effort is essential to developing smarter, more robust, and sustainable electrical networks for the next generation.
