China Southern Power Grid (CSG) demonstrated its commitment to AI-driven transformation at the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) held in Shanghai from July 26 to 28. The conference, operating under the theme 'Global Solidarity in the AI Era,' provided CSG with a platform to showcase its technological advancements in the power sector.
As a strategic partner of the event, CSG unveiled an exhibition themed 'Empowering Every kwh with AI' that highlighted the company's integration of artificial intelligence into power grid operations. The company also hosted a specialized forum focused on AI-driven innovation in the power sector, bringing together industry experts to discuss future developments.
In recent years, CSG has embraced emerging technologies—particularly artificial intelligence—and achieved several breakthrough advances. These include strengthening its technological foundation, deploying a wide range of demonstration scenarios, and helping build an AI ecosystem within the power sector. The company has notably partnered with Baidu to develop a series of AI models specifically designed for power applications, enhancing operational efficiency and resource management.
Research indicates that CSG's implementation of AI technologies has had a more significant positive impact on power grid investment efficiency compared to other power entities in China. This advantage stems from the company's ability to quickly adapt to specific regional demands, enhancing the effectiveness of AI applications in optimizing power grid investments.
Looking ahead, CSG plans to continue prioritizing national strategic objectives, including the Digital China initiative and the broader energy transition. The company intends to deepen its research into AI technologies and expand their application across the energy sector while strengthening collaboration across the industry value chain. Through these efforts, CSG aims to contribute Chinese expertise to the global digital transformation of the energy industry and support long-term goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.
