Huawei Hou Jinlong: Technology Leads Change, Building a Prosperous New Ecology of Digital Energy Industry

[Shenzhen, China, March 25, 2026] The 2026 Huawei China Digital Energy Partnership Conference was held in Shenzhen, Guangdong. Hou Jinlong, director of Huawei and president of Huawei Digital Energy, delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of the conference. He said: Huawei Digital Energy focuses on the three core areas of new power systems, electric travel and AI data centers, deeply integrates digital technology, artificial intelligence, power electronics and energy storage technology, deeply cultivates various sub-scenarios, and continues to create products and solutions with core competitiveness. Huawei Digital Energy will adhere to the core strategy of "technology-driven, scenario-deep cultivation, value creation", and work with partners to seize new opportunities for energy transformation and build a prosperous ecosystem for the digital energy industry.

At present, the global energy landscape is undergoing profound and extensive changes. The energy revolution is deeply integrated with the digital revolution, the digital energy industry has entered a critical window of high-quality transformation. This change is not a simple single technology iteration, but a systematic reconstruction covering the whole chain of energy production, transmission, storage and use. Each link contains unprecedented development opportunities.

Hou Jinlong pointed out that the energy production and consumption structure ushered in a fundamental restructuring, new energy officially entered the ranks of the main energy. As of the end of 2025, China's cumulative grid-connected installed capacity of wind power and photovoltaics exceeded 1.8 billion kilowatts, and the total installed capacity of wind power and photovoltaics historically surpassed thermal power, marking that my country's energy production structure has officially entered a new stage of "new energy-led.

At the same time, AI the explosive growth of new power loads such as data centers and new energy vehicles, the power demand structure has undergone profound changes. "The two-way drive of consumer-side electrification and production-side new energy scale is accelerating the deep integration of source network load storage integration." Hou Jinlong stressed that "the stability of high proportion of new energy grid connection has become the core challenge of new power system construction."

Network technology is the core technology to solve the "high proportion of new energy grid stability problem. In this context, Huawei proposed and landed the full-scene network technology, leading the new energy grid-connected mode from "current source" to "voltage source" transition. Huawei launched the world's first "network-type intelligent group string inverter", which is to achieve the fundamental transformation of new energy from "passive follow" to "active support. Intelligent group string-type network energy storage has also fully broken through the bottleneck of large-scale application, in the world hundreds of projects successfully landed. "Network technology is redefining the 'system role' of new energy '." Hou Jinlong said, "From 'supplementary energy' to 'main power supply', from 'passive consumption' to 'active support', new energy is entering the era of main energy in an all-round way."

In the field of energy storage security, security is the bottom line and lifeline of the development of the energy storage industry, and it is the first consideration for customers to choose partners. Huawei broke the industry convention and lowered the security protection level from the mainstream "box level" to "battery pack level" to realize the non-proliferation of battery thermal runaway, block the spread of security risks from the source, and redefine the industry's energy storage security benchmark. In the field of charging network, Huawei takes the lead in the innovation of automobile electric energy supplement technology, defining the new standard of super-charging energy supplement, passenger car "one kilometer per second", electric heavy truck "5 minutes 100 kilometers", has become the industry's extreme energy supplement experience benchmark. In the field of artificial intelligence, Token consumption has increased exponentially, and AI data centers have become the core engine of power demand growth, and will comprehensively drive technological innovation and industrial transformation in the fields of "wind and solar new energy, grid-based energy storage, high-density power supply, high-power heat dissipation, and virtual power plants.

"Technology breakthrough is not a single point, but the whole industry chain upstream and downstream collaborative upgrade. Throughout the entire digital energy industry, core areas such as smart photovoltaics, network technology, energy storage security, over-charging networks, AI, and data centers have achieved key technological breakthroughs, opening up a new blue ocean for cross-border integration and development. These opportunities of the times belong to every partner who moves forward side by side and deeply cultivates the industry." Hou Jinlong said.

Facing the great changes and opportunities of the digital energy industry, Huawei Digital Energy has always firmly believed that the new era is an era of deep integration of industry, technology and scene, in the face of the systematic restructuring of the digital energy industry, Hou Jinlong stressed: "Alone fast, public travel far. Only by leading technology, deep cultivation of scenes and ecological coordination can we win the future." Huawei adheres to the cooperation principle of "product focus ecological open scene collaboration.

At the same time, in order to help partners succeed, Huawei has launched four major support measures: providing competitive products and technology bases to enable partners to "succeed"; Through clear cooperation boundaries, reduce investment risks and let partners "dare to succeed"; Unify cooperation processes, templates and standards, improve operational efficiency and make partners "easy to succeed"; Adhere to long-term doctrine, continue to invest in technological innovation and ecological construction, so that partners "long-term success".

"The era of digital energy has begun." Hou Jinlong finally said, "We look forward to working with all partners to seize the opportunities of the times, continue to deepen cooperation, use technological innovation as the engine, and use ecological win-win as the link to jointly create a bright future for the prosperity and development of the digital energy industry!"
