On July 3, ABB held its Energy Development and Industrial Ecosystem Summit under the theme “Accelerating Energy with Intelligence, Advancing Together for a Shared Future.” The event brought together industry experts, customers, and partners from sectors including power generation, energy storage, and data centers to discuss the opportunities and challenges emerging from the integration of high shares of renewable energy and the two-way empowerment between artificial intelligence (AI) and the energy industry.
As the energy transition moves from incremental greening toward systemic strengthening, the construction of a high-quality new power system has become a critical task for the industry. During the summit, participants engaged in in-depth discussions on “Opportunities and Challenges in High-Quality Development of the New Power System,” focusing on how to balance sustainability, security, and economic efficiency in future energy infrastructures.
ABB Electric, as a leading industry pioneer, provided a collaborative platform for ecosystem partners to explore practical pathways toward building a new energy system. The company emphasized the importance of open cooperation across the industrial chain to accelerate the deployment of scalable, replicable, and high-impact solutions that support the global energy transition.
At the event, ABB showcased several innovative solutions designed to support zero-carbon and highly integrated energy systems. These included an AI-powered intelligent agent for multi-source coordinated scheduling in zero-carbon industrial parks, an all-DC (direct current) power distribution solution, and the iWise smart energy management platform. These technologies are designed to enhance operational efficiency, improve system flexibility, and enable large-scale deployment across industrial and commercial applications.
According to China’s recently issued “15th Five-Year Plan for High-Quality Development of the New Energy System,” the country aims to establish a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient energy system by 2030. The plan sets ambitious targets, including renewable energy and non-fossil energy generation each accounting for over 50% of total power generation capacity, marking a historic transformation in the power structure.
Industry experts at the summit noted that as the energy transition accelerates, digitalization and AI integration will play an increasingly important role in optimizing grid stability, improving renewable energy consumption efficiency, and enabling real-time energy management across complex systems.
ABB stated that it will continue to strengthen its role as a technology enabler and ecosystem builder, working with global partners to advance the development of a resilient, intelligent, and low-carbon energy future.
