Huawei Showcases AI Powered Smart Power Grid Solutions at MWC 2026
In 2025 alone, the world witnessed more than 10 major power outages, disrupting electricity supply for over 1.2 billion people globally. These incidents have highlighted a growing challenge for power utilities worldwide: ensuring grid stability while simultaneously accelerating the transition toward clean and renewable energy.
As electricity demand rises and energy systems become more complex, traditional power grids are no longer enough. This is where artificial intelligence, digitalization, and smart infrastructure are stepping in — and Huawei is positioning itself at the center of this transformation.
Power Grids Are No Longer Just Transmission Systems
According to Huawei, modern power grids must evolve beyond simple electricity transmission. They now play a critical role in:
Supporting renewable energy integration
Managing unpredictable power loads
Enabling electrification at scale
Driving progress toward carbon neutrality
Jason Li, President of Global Marketing & Solutions at Huawei’s Electric Power Digitalization Business Unit, explains that the industry is moving toward a new phase.
“In the past, automation helped address grid challenges. In the future, power grids will become pivotal players in the global energy transition,” Li said. “Digitalization and AI are no longer optional upgrades — they are now core elements of power generation and grid operations.”
Huawei believes that AI combined with automation and telecommunications technologies will redefine how power systems operate, delivering both stability and flexibility — two priorities that are often difficult to balance.
The Distribution Network: Where the Real Challenge Lies
While power generation often gets the spotlight, Huawei sees the distribution network as the real breakthrough point for future energy systems.
The large-scale adoption of:
Distributed solar PV systems
Energy storage solutions
EV charging infrastructure
Bidirectional power flow and user-level energy transactions
has introduced new levels of complexity, particularly at the low-voltage (400V) level, where visibility and transparency are limited.
“The key to solving distribution challenges is achieving transparency at the low-voltage level,” Jason Li noted.
To address this, Huawei — in collaboration with industry partners — has developed its Intelligent Distribution Solution (IDS). The solution is designed to improve low-voltage grid visibility, enabling smarter decision-making, better fault detection, and enhanced operational efficiency.
Intelligent Power Digitalization in Action
Huawei’s approach focuses on deeply embedding AI-driven intelligence into real-world power scenarios, reshaping how utilities manage production, operations, and maintenance.
Key benefits include:
Improved grid stability
Faster fault detection and recovery
Better integration of renewable energy
Smarter load balancing and energy flow management
This shift reflects a broader industry trend where AI moves from experimental use cases to mission-critical infrastructure.
Huawei to Showcase AI-Powered Power Solutions at MWC 2026
Huawei will showcase its latest innovations in power digitalization at Mobile World Congress 2026, one of the world’s largest technology exhibitions.
At its booth (Stand 1H50, Fira Gran Via, Hall 1), Huawei plans to demonstrate:
AI-enabled intelligent power distribution systems
Smart substations
AI-based power plant inspection solutions
The company aims to highlight real-world examples of how digital transformation is already reshaping the global power sector.
TechMitra Take
As power grids face increasing pressure from renewable integration, electrification, and climate goals, AI-powered digitalization is quickly becoming essential rather than optional. Huawei’s vision underscores a broader reality: the future of energy infrastructure will be smart, transparent, and AI-driven.
With global outages becoming more frequent and costly, technologies that enhance grid intelligence may soon define how resilient — and sustainable — modern societies can be.
