GEPIC and Huawei Jointly Release the Zijin Yuneng Model

Lanzhou, China

[Lanzhou, China, August 4, 2026] Gansu Province Electric Power Investment Group Co., Ltd. (GEPIC) recently held a launch event in Lanzhou for its "AI + power" innovative applications and the Zijin Yuneng model. Developed in partnership with Huawei, the Zijin Yuneng model is China's first provincial intelligent brain for the power sector. Building on this model, the two partners will roll out AI-powered applications across power industry scenarios to strengthen operational efficiency and safety, as well as accelerate the industry's transition from digitalization to intelligence.

GEPIC's launch event for "AI + power" innovative applications and the Zijin Yuneng model

As China's first provincial AI model for the power sector, the Zijin Yuneng model supports fine-tuning and high-performance inference for models with hundreds of billions of parameters. It is compatible with multiple mainstream multimodal models and offers a one-stop toolchain covering data preprocessing, model training, and inference optimization, streamlining the entire journey from R&D and deployment to application. It provides a solid foundation for integrating AI resources and enabling collaborative development across the energy industry. Building on the Zijin Yuneng model, GEPIC has officially launched five initial applications across intelligent production, intelligent O&M, intelligent safety, and intelligent office. These include a power trading decision-support system, a power load and electricity price forecasting system, a wind and solar power forecasting system, an intelligent PV inspection system, and an AI-powered intelligent office platform. By integrating cutting-edge technologies such as AI, large models, and big data, these applications represent a deep dive into "electricity-compute integration" and will further accelerate the digital and intelligent transformation of power enterprises across the province.

In his address, Lu Jiqing, Chairperson of GEPIC, stated that the Group has stayed focused on what the country needs and what it can deliver. It has actively pursued the integrated development of computing and electricity, a two-way synergy where electricity powers computing and computing, in turn, optimizes the grid. Through this coordinated approach, the Group has built an R&D team and developed the Zijin Yuneng Model alongside five high-value applications, charting a sustainable path for the industry—one where green electricity fuels computing and computing empowers the grid. Looking ahead, GEPIC will remain committed to this computing-electricity synergy, continuing to drive the deep integration of AI across industries. By leveraging its proprietary computing capabilities, the Group aims to tackle high-value scenarios such as slope stability monitoring for power infrastructure, intelligent safety, integrated energy and carbon management, and early warning of risks. Through these efforts, it aims to contribute its expertise to industrial upgrade across the province and play a greater role in advancing the province's energy strategy.

Zhang Chunlei, Vice President of Huawei China Region, noted that the Zijin Yuneng model marks a new milestone in GEPIC and Huawei collaboration, one built on technology co-creation, resource sharing, and joint talent development. The collaboration leverages Huawei Cloud Stack as the AI infrastructure and incorporates core technologies such as the Pangu weather model and Pangu CV model, setting a benchmark for win-win cooperation between energy and tech companies. Huawei is fully committed to serving and empowering Gansu. Taking this model launch as a new starting point, Huawei will continue to build on its strengths in technology, computing power, ecosystem, and talent, deepen joint innovation with GEPIC, and further open up its technical capabilities, share its industry ecosystem, and co-build innovation platforms, helping position Gansu as a national leader in the digital, green, and intelligent transformation of the energy sector.

Going forward, the two partners will advance the large-scale deployment of the model across production safety and business management, translating AI capabilities into tangible industrial outcomes. Through intelligent innovation, they aim to support the upgrade and high-quality development of industrial enterprises across the province, delivering more GEPIC solutions to facilitate Gansu's digital and intelligent transformation.
