DONGGUAN, China, May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On May 15, 2026, the 2026 Global AIDC
Industry Summit & Huawei AIDC Strategy and Product Launch was held in Dongguan with
the theme "Power the AI Era Forward." The summit brought together nearly 1,000 global
leaders, technical experts, and core ecosystem partners from the energy, intelligent
computing and carrier sectors. They shared insights on the next-generation AI data
center (AIDC) architecture evolution and cutting-edge technological innovations,
and witnessed the launch of Huawei’s grid-interactive AIDC strategy.

Hou Jinlong, Director of the Board of Huawei and President of Huawei Digital Power,
delivered an insightful keynote speech at the event. According to Mr. Hou, the booming
AI industry, widely adopted large models, and numerous AI agents are creating huge
energy demands, set to boost the global AIDC capacity.** Electricity is essential
for computing; energy is the foundation for AI long-term development. **Computing
and electricity will deeply synergize and empower each other, progressively building
an integrated framework that brings together new power systems and AI infrastructure.
Reliable power supply is crucial to the high-quality and sustainable development
of AIDC. Grid friendliness is vital for long-term, reliable, and stable operations.
High-voltage, DC, and power-electronic architectures are critical to support ultra-
high-density computing loads. Additionally, liquid cooling has become a mandatory
choice for ultra-high-density computing. Reliable liquid cooling solutions and full-
lifecycle intelligent O&M are key. Moreover, the essence of AIDC is a computing 
power production system, where delivery speed is closely tied to business benefits
and investment returns.

**Huawei Digital Power deeply integrates bit, watt, heat, and battery (4T) technologies,
and focuses on key fields such as new power systems and AIDC. It has established
comprehensive capabilities in renewable power generation, grid forming, high-density
computing power supply, liquid cooling, and computing-electricity synergy.** Facing
significant industry transformation opportunities, Huawei Digital Power is committed
to becoming an AIDC innovation leader and a long-term, trusted strategic partner.
By cooperating with global customers and partners, it aims to promote high-quality,
sustainable, and innovative development of the AIDC industry to achieve greener 
watts, more tokens per watt, and lower costs per token.

Bob He, Vice President of Huawei Digital Power, delivered a keynote speech titled"
Building Grid-Interactive AIDC, Maximizing Tokens Per Watt." According to Mr. He,
the global AI industry is booming, and the token demand surges. As such, the AIDC
industry is entering the Token era. High-density and diversified computing poses
great challenges to the power density, scale, and load fluctuation of AIDC. Moreover,
the growing penetration of renewable energy intensifies power grid fluctuations,
while the frequent heavy-load fluctuations of AI services further compound AIDC 
reliability challenges.

**To address these challenges, Huawei launched the grid-interactive AIDC strategy
centered on "3+1" innovations. This strategy aims to develop a reliable, energy-
efficient, fast-delivered, and grid-friendly AIDC solution that maximizes tokens
per watt.**

 ◦ **Watt Innovation: Reshaping the Power Supply from the Grid to Chips. Diversified
   loads determine the diversity of power supply architectures. **AC and DC power
   will coexist for a long time. Huawei will build a multiple-input multiple-output(
   MIMO) power supply architecture centered on grid-friendly UPS and grid-forming
   energy storage system (ESS), which will evolve toward an integrated grid-forming
   energy router based on solid-state transformer (SST) technology. The architecture
   will leverage Huawei’s technical expertise in power electronics, grid forming,
   high/low voltage, and AC/DC power to flexibly meet the high-density power supply
   requirements of AIDC.
 ◦ **Heat Innovation: Reshaping Full-Lifecycle Thermal Management Reliability from
   Chips to Outdoors. **The ultimate value of liquid cooling lies not in equipment
   cooling, but in building a full-lifecyle thermal management system. Huawei has
   built an innovative AI-powered MW-level liquid cooling system for efficient and
   reliable heat dissipation, advancing the large-scale deployment of liquid cooling
   from availability to long-term reliability.
 ◦ **Bit Innovation: Reshaping Full-lifecycle Operations by Empowering Data Centers
   with AI.** Digital and intelligent technologies can be applied across the entire
   lifecycle from design and delivery to operation, achieving full-link visibility,
   full-link reliability, and efficient full-lifecycle O&M.
 ◦ **Construction Innovation: Reshaping the Construction Mode Through Engineering
   Productization, Prefabrication, and Modularization.** The entire process of design,
   production, testing, and verification can be completed in the factory and only
   installation is required onsite, significantly shortening the time to market,
   improving the delivery quality, and enabling fast product replication.

Bob He noted that the upper limit of AI computing power is ultimately defined by
the upper limit of energy supply — Energy as Token. In the AIDC era, the traditional
PUE-centric energy efficiency evaluation system can no longer fully measure the 
value of AIDC. The industry needs to move from "energy efficiency metrics" to "value
metrics." Huawei proposes the TokEnergy Index — the Energy-to-Token Ratio — to measure
the end-to-end conversion efficiency from energy to computing power in AIDC.

In the AI era, data centers are no longer just server rooms. They are super factories
that produce tokens. Standing at the turning point of industry development, Huawei
Digital Power will continue to invest in fundamental technologies and develop an
industry-leading grid-interactive AIDC solution to drive high-quality industry development,
maximize tokens per watt, and power the AI era forward.
