Huawei Debuts at Enlit Europe 2025, Showcasing Electric Power Innovations

• Focus on grid digitalization, automation, and secure communication
• IDS, edge computing, and private wireless networks address core sector challenges

Huawei participated for the first time in Enlit Europe 2025 in Bilbao, Spain, the continent’s largest gathering for the energy sector. The company showcased digital solutions and products designed to drive the transformation of European electric power industry.

In his keynote speech Jason Li, President of Global Marketing & Solutions, Electric Power Digitalization BU at Huawei, outlined how the rapid growth of renewables and electrification necessitates new approaches to grid management. He emphasized that traditional automation alone cannot solve today’s complexity but modern grids require deeply integrated digital technologies and AI optimisation to deliver ultimate stability and flexibility.

“The integration of automation, digitalization, and AI will be the decisive driver for grid modernization. Only highly flexible and stable systems can meet the demands of the energy transition and the rapid integration of new energy sources,” said Li.

Europe’s Energy Industry Undergoing Transformation

The rapid rise of renewables, shifting weather patterns, decarbonization targets, and evolving policy frameworks all intensify the strain on networks. Utilities must address unpredictable energy flows, new loads such as EVs, and the need for ultimate flexibility and stability—challenges that already shape the industry in China and other regions.

Huawei responds with intelligent technologies—combining automation, digitalization, and AI-led solutions—to enhance stability, transparency, and operational agility.

Solutions in Action: Practical Tools for the Energy Transition

At Enlit Europe 2025, Huawei presented a suite of products designed for transparency, reliability, and integration of distributed energy resources. These solutions empower utilities to manage complexity and drive the energy transition:

• Intelligent Distribution Solution (IDS): Transparent 400V low-voltage networks, real-time monitoring, intelligent control, automated fault detection.
• Edge Computing Unit: Decentralized data processing for fast response and precise control at the grid edge.
• Wi-Fi 7 AirEngine 6776-58TI: High-performance wireless for mission-critical grid applications.
• NetEngine 8000 M8 V800R023, CloudEngine S5735I-S8U4XN-V2: Secure, scalable network and cloud solutions for utilities.
• OptiXstar T602E, T823E-D, OptiXtrans E6616: Optical transmission technologies for reliable, high-bandwidth communication.
• Wireless Private Network Sandbox: Demonstrated private wireless networks for automation, consumption management, and emergency communication.
• IDS Rotating Exhibition Wall: Visualized the cloud-pipe-edge-pipe-device architecture and practical scenarios such as transformer management and smart metering.

Vision for Modern Power Systems

As Europe’s power sector bets big on renewable energy sources, there is an increasing demand for flexibility, and the need for real-time transparency. This puts pressure on utilities to modernize networks to manage new energy sources and changing consumption patterns.

Addressing these challenges in his speech Max Ma, VP Electric Power Digitalization BU, Huawei, highlighted how intelligent distribution networks increase transparency and efficiency, supporting the transition to sustainable energy. He pointed to a unified HPLC technology to manage all LV grid components and proactive grid management as key enablers.

Nigel Hawkins, Senior Consultant for Standardization and Industry Development at Huawei, discussed capacity balancing and underscored the importance of agile digital communication platforms for grid stability as renewables expand. He emphasized the role of smart grids and robust telecoms in enabling reliable operations.

Turning Challenge into Opportunity

The energy transition brings unprecedented challenges, but also opportunities for decisive action. The intersection of automation, digital technologies, and AI enablement is not just an option—it is essential for future-ready power networks. Huawei’s solutions, proven in large-scale deployments, show that modernization is achievable today.

“The industry must move from passive response to proactive service, leveraging digital tools, AI-led solutions and collaboration to build grids that are resilient, flexible, and ready for the future”, concluded Li.
