HangzhouApril 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Reported by China Energy Network.
Amid the explosive growth of global AI computing power, AI Data Centers (AIDCs) have become the core engine of the digital economy. As computing power demand rises exponentially, electricity consumption and energy security have emerged as key challenges for industry development. To address the core contradiction between high computing power and power supply in AIDCs, and to promote the deep integration of energy storage and power technologies, the “2026 China AIDC Energy Storage and Power Conference & Exhibition” will be held on May 15–16 in Hangzhou, bringing together global industry elites to chart a new path for the coordinated development of computing power and energy.
Currently, global data center electricity consumption continues to surge. The International Energy Agency warns that it will exceed 1,000 TWh for the first time in 2026, with supporting energy storage demand doubling to over 40 GWh. China has introduced a series of policies, mandating that national-level computing centers achieve a green electricity usage rate of over 80%, imposing strict limits on AIDC power usage efficiency, and investing trillions by the State Grid to upgrade the smart grid to meet new electricity demands. The synergy between computing and electricity, green and low-carbon practices, and high efficiency and reliability have become inevitable trends in the AIDC industry.
AIDC Energy Storage and Power Conference
With the theme “Digital-Storage Integration, Smartly Navigating the Future,” the conference focuses on core technologies such as data center energy storage systems, Solid-State Transformers (SST), HVDC high-voltage direct current, source-grid-load-storage integration, liquid cooling, and power generation infrastructure, covering the entire AIDC energy storage and power industry chain. The event aims to create the only national and globally focused professional exchange platform in the AIDC energy storage and power field.
Organized by China Energy Network and Global Energy Storage Network, the event leverages professional platform resources and extensive exhibition experience, having served over a thousand companies and promoting healthy industry development. The conference is not only a platform for technical exchange but also a bridge for industrial collaboration, helping the AIDC industry transition from passive electricity consumption to active grid nodes and fostering new quality productive forces in the energy sector.
