CHINT Showcases Innovative Grid Technologies at CIGRE 2026

The electric power systems in Europe are undergoing profound changes characterized by the rapid integration of renewable energies, increased electrification, and growing demands from AI data centers. All these elements are driving the modernization of grid infrastructures, creating opportunities for more resilient and adaptable power networks. At this pivotal moment, CHINT, a leading provider of integrated power and energy solutions, is set to unveil its latest innovations at the CIGRE 2026 conference.

Scheduled from August 23 to August 28, 2026, at the Palais des Congrès in Paris, CHINT’s presence at this high-profile event will highlight the next-generation technologies for power transmission and distribution (TD). Positioned at Level 1, Stand A196, CHINT will showcase its comprehensive solutions, including advanced battery energy storage systems (BESS) and AI data center infrastructure (AIDC), demonstrating how these technologies can facilitate the modernization and resilience of Europe’s power networks.

Meeting the Challenges of Modern Power Grids

With estimated investments ranging from €650 to €900 billion required for grid infrastructure across Europe between 2026 and 2035, the urgency for innovation in the energy sector has never been greater. At the CIGRE 2026, CHINT plans to present its End-to-End portfolio focused on power transmission and distribution, helping address the challenges faced by transmission system operators (TSOs), distribution system operators (DSOs), and EPC contractors.

The company’s integrated technology suite is designed to enhance grid capacity, reliability, and flexibility, facilitating the modernization of existing infrastructures to better support the overwhelming demand for clean energy solutions. The lineup includes:

• - High-Voltage Transformers: With low-noise and low-loss 1,000 kV oil transformers and 750 kV oil transformers using natural ester oil and SF₆-free medium and high-voltage switchgear (24 kV, 145 kV, and 420 kV SF₆-free GIS).
• - Energy Storage Technology: Featuring cascading energy storage systems, integrated 13.8 MW PCS substations, solid-state transformers (SSTs), semiconductor circuit breakers (SCCBs), and Energy Pods designed for data centers.

Supporting Europe's Energy Transition with Intelligent Technologies

As the demand for energy surges alongside the rise of renewable generation, European utility companies and infrastructure developers are committed to strengthening transmission and distribution networks. This evolution underscores the need for flexible, reliable, and scalable energy infrastructures, which CHINT is aptly positioned to provide.

With an expanding footprint across the continent, CHINT is dedicated to supporting utilities, EPC contractors, and infrastructure developers with local technical expertise and a robust portfolio that encompasses power transformers, switchgear, substations, and smart grid solutions. The company skillfully combines global technological expertise with regional service competency, aiding its clients in building dependable, efficient, and sustainable power networks.

Vice President of CHINT Global, Beibei Zheng, remarked, "The European power grid is evolving at an unprecedented pace. In addition to renewable energy integration, utility companies are preparing their grids to accommodate the rapid growth of AI, electrification, and digital infrastructure. At CIGRE 2026, we look forward to discussing technologies with customers and industry partners that will contribute to building stronger, smarter, and more sustainable power grids for decades to come."
