Recently, Schneider Electric, a global leader in industrial technology, was invited to attend the 2025 International Forum on Energy and Power Transformation. The forum, with the theme of "Accelerating Energy Transformation through New Power Systems," is jointly organized by State Grid Corporation of China, the International Renewable Energy Agency, the World Energy Council, and the World Economic Forum, and hosted by 10 globally renowned power companies. Schneider Electric focuses on key issues such as energy transformation, new power system construction, and zero carbon transformation of urban power grids, and collaborates with various industries to explore innovative paths and showcase its technology and solutions in the field of energy and power, helping the industry move towards an efficient and sustainable future.
Under the new wave of global technological revolution and industrial transformation, the energy industry is undergoing profound structural changes and systematic reshaping. The construction of China's new power system has been comprehensively accelerated, and the continuous emergence of new application scenarios has put forward higher requirements for technological innovation in the energy and power industry. Xiong Yi, Senior Vice President of Schneider Electric, Head of Strategy and Business Development in China, and Dean of the Business Value Research Institute, was invited to attend the CEO roundtable meeting of the forum. He said, "Accelerating the construction of a new power system requires a balance between practical foundation building and innovative breakthroughs. On the one hand, reliability is the cornerstone to ensure the safety and abundance of energy. On the other hand, technological innovation is used to address the volatility challenges brought by the integration of new energy, enhance the flexibility and interactivity of the new power system. Schneider Electric always takes' customer demand 'as the anchor point,' technological innovation 'as the engine, and' ecological cooperation 'as the cornerstone, pragmatically builds a solid bottom line, innovatively expands space, and accelerates the construction of a greener, more stable, and more efficient new power system
During the forum, Schneider Electric showcased its integrated software and hardware solutions covering various aspects of "source network load storage", as well as innovative achievements and practical applications of integrating artificial intelligence and digital technology into products, operations, and services. Focusing on diversified scenarios such as centralized new energy, data centers, highways, industrial and commercial parks, independent energy storage power stations, and new energy distribution and storage, Schneider Electric is creating multi-dimensional value for users with industry-leading solutions and full lifecycle service capabilities, including safety, efficiency, intelligence, and green.
The urban power grid plays a crucial role in the construction of new power systems. Schneider Electric relies on its EcoStruxure for future power grids ™ Grid architecture and platform utilize advanced digital technologies and solutions to ensure the safety, reliability, efficiency, flexibility, and sustainable development of the power system.
At the special technical seminar on "Zero Carbon Development of Urban Power Grid" at this forum, Wang Zhao, Senior Architect of Schneider Electric's Energy Management Medium Voltage Business Power Grid Industry, attended and delivered a keynote speech. He pointed out that "the power industry is a key driving force for achieving the net zero goal. With the strong support of green and digital technology innovation, the power industry is accelerating towards the net zero goal by accelerating the deployment of clean energy, improving power grid reliability and flexibility, promoting energy efficiency improvement, and empowering more consumers to achieve electrification. It is particularly noteworthy that the deep integration of artificial intelligence and digital technology will show great potential in key links such as energy prediction, optimization, and control, and is expected to inject strong impetus into the transformation and upgrading of the power industry
With the development of new quality productivity entering a critical period, intelligence, greenness, and low carbonization have become the necessary path for the energy industry to move towards the future. Schneider Electric will continue to be customer-oriented, driven by technological innovation and ecological synergy, empowering energy enterprises to achieve higher levels of quality and efficiency improvement, and writing a new chapter for the sustainable and high-quality development of the energy industry.
