Building a secure and stable grid through digitalisation and intelligence

Jason Li, President of Huawei Global MKT & Solution, Electric Power Digitalization Business Unit, provides an in-depth analysis of how power systems can leverage advanced technologies to address unprecedented challenges and move towards a smarter, more reliable future amidst the rapid development of green energy.

In this exclusive interview, Li highlights that the rapid growth of green energy and electrification is making power systems more complex and less predictable.

Noting that in the first half of 2025, there were 10+ major power outages affecting 1.2 billion+ people, making automated system stability a top priority for grid companies.

Core challenges

With the increasing frequency of blackouts globally and the uncertainties introduced by massive integration of distributed energy resources (such as photovoltaics and electric vehicles), ensuring the balance and stability of distribution grids has become a shared priority for the global power industry.

Breakthrough path

Li reveals how innovative technologies, like low-voltage transparency, enable precise perception at the grid’s edge and minute-level fault management. This supports the transition of grid operations from traditional “passive response” to “proactive service.

Future actions

Building a future-oriented power communication network is foundational. This interview explores how establishing dedicated wireless networks for power utilities and promoting industry standard collaboration can provide robust momentum for grid automation and intelligence, ultimately empowering a successful energy transition.

Combining specific application cases with a global perspective, this interview offers forward-looking and actionable insights for industry peers.
