On November 5, the 9th China International Import Expo (CIIE) opened in Shanghai. As a participant that has been present at every edition of the CIIE for nine consecutive years, ABB returned with the theme "Engineering Excellence for a Sustainable Future," underscoring its long-term commitment to the Chinese market and its dedication to continuous innovation. Focusing on the theme of "AI + Power," ABB Electrification showcased innovative technologies and practical applications that integrate electrification with digitalization across four key areas: new energy and zero-carbon industrial parks, new energy and computing centers, smart buildings, and smart homes. The company also unveiled five new products in China for the first time, highlighting its innovative achievements spanning the entire value chain—from energy supply to end-use applications.

2026 marks the inaugural year of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan. In response to national strategic priorities—encompassing energy security, the green transition, and industrial upgrading—ABB Electrification has unveiled a "Blueprint for Ten Key Scenarios" for the high-quality development of new energy. Centered on the synergy between power generation, the grid, loads, and energy storage, this blueprint spans the entire value chain—from centralized renewable energy generation and green-powered computing clusters to zero-carbon industrial parks. It aligns seamlessly with the objectives of the national "15th Five-Year Plan for Building a New-Type Power System," which envisions a system that is clean, low-carbon, secure, abundant, cost-effective, well-coordinated, flexible, and intelligent. Furthermore, by leveraging the deep integration of AI with electrical and digital technologies, ABB addresses critical challenges—such as maintaining power supply reliability and ensuring the effective consumption of renewable energy—when high proportions of renewables are integrated into the grid. This provides Chinese users with a clear roadmap for their green transition during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, guiding them from regulatory compliance to tangible value creation.
