BARCELONA, Spain, March 3, 2026 — At the Global Digital Power Forum held during MWC Barcelona 2026, Huawei Digital Power, in collaboration with the Global Computing Consortium (GCC), initiated the AIDC Ecosystem Co-construction Initiative and introduced the New-Gen AI-Powered Green Site to support the ICT industry in the AI era.

With the rapid progression of the intelligent era, demand for AIDC is rising, and challenges related to power supply, rapid deployment, safety, and reliability require resolution. Meanwhile, millions of telecom base stations also confront issues of high energy consumption and weak grid infrastructure. As energy technologies develop, solar power not only enables low-carbon electricity generation but has also emerged as the most effective energy resource. The integration of green energy with AI has become the optimal approach to tackle energy consumption challenges in the AI era.

According to Zhou Jianjun, Vice President of Huawei and President of Global Marketing, Sales and Services at Huawei Digital Power, Huawei has long provided the ICT industry with 5G, AI, and cloud technologies to facilitate digital transformation. In the AI era, the ICT industry demands more sustainable, resilient, agile, and reliable energy infrastructure. Operators will utilize facilities such as telecom sites and data centers to enhance equipment energy efficiency, integrate solar power and energy storage. This will enable operators to shift from being mere energy consumers to both consumers and producers, driving green and sustainable development. Huawei Digital Power will leverage its established expertise in computing, large AI models, solar energy, energy storage, and power grids to assist operators in evolving toward prosumers 2.0, ensuring success in the AI era.

Xia Hesheng, CMO of Huawei Digital Power, noted that the accelerating adoption of AI applications is driving surging demand for computing power, propelling the AIDC industry into a phase of rapid expansion. As the power capacity of chips, servers, and racks, along with campus scales, undergo significant transformations, AIDC construction now faces four key challenges: reliability, energy efficiency, deployment speed, and smooth evolution. Huawei focuses on technological innovation across power supply, cooling, energy storage, operations, and construction methods. It offers a highly reliable, energy-efficient, quickly deployable, and fully compatible AIDC solution to maximize tokens per watt.

At the event, Huawei Digital Power and GCC jointly launched the AIDC Ecosystem Co-construction Initiative. This initiative aims to enhance the regional compatibility of standards and specifications by considering local policies, environmental conditions, and technical requirements. It also seeks to share practical experiences and develop a dynamic global AIDC knowledge base through an alliance platform. By using specifications as a bridge, the initiative will cultivate a thriving ecosystem and build an open, mutually beneficial global AIDC industry ecosystem.

Jin Hai, BOD Chairman of GCC, stated that different countries and regions have diverse energy mixes, policy directions, environmental protection measures, and application scenarios. This presents both challenges for refining specifications and valuable opportunities for industry co-creation. Standards can only truly empower global digital economic development when they are grounded in a deep understanding of regional needs and aligned with industry realities.

AI-Powered Green Site Launch

At the event, Huawei Digital Power introduced its AI-Powered Green Site solution, which features a unique end-to-end intelligent synergy to support operators in transitioning from energy consumers to prosumers. Built on the concept of “one-time deployment, 10-year evolution” for simplified construction, the AI-Powered Green Site solution meets operators’ requirements in scenarios such as 5G site construction, green power supply, and energy storage revenue enhancement.

Gautham Gnanajothi, Senior Vice President of Frost & Sullivan, opined that telecom networks were built for resilience, but the next decade will define them by intelligence; transforming extensive, geographically dispersed energy footprints into orchestrated platforms that not only safeguard uptime but also actively stabilize power systems, unlock new value streams, and reposition telecom as a strategic force within the broader energy ecosystem.

As the intelligent era unfolds rapidly, AI is unlocking vast growth prospects for the global ICT industry while creating new opportunities and challenges for ICT energy infrastructure. Huawei Digital Power will continue to invest in innovation, harness green energy to power the AI era, and collaborate with global partners to shape a new digital world.
