GENI - Global Energy Network Institute

AI and EVs are driving a surge in global energy demand, forcing electrical grids to double their power delivery by 2050. However, aging infrastructure and outdated technology threaten to hold them back. Now, companies from China to Nigeria are building next-generation grids to power AI, support electrification and potentially unlock massive economic growth.

🏆 Another milestone reached in UHV technology!

Our first 1100 kV Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) successfully passed full-configuration testing, witnessed by our customer, State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC).

Full-configuration testing is a specific SGCC requirement for ultra-high-voltage (UHV) projects: the entire bay is assembled in the factory and subjected to dielectric and partial discharge routine tests as the final quality gate. It's one of the most rigorous validation steps in the industry.

With this, we have now completed all routine tests and Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) for the first 1100kV GIS delivered to SGCC and received outstanding feedback and recognition for our quality and precision.

Proud of the entire team that made this happen. The best engineering is the kind that holds up under the toughest tests.

"There are 100,000 megawatts of stranded capacity inside the existing US power grid right now. We still need new generation (some behind the meter) and more transmission lines. We also need to fix permitting, but we can most certainly move faster."

The Grid Is Not Full, Stop Misleading People There are 100,000 megawatts of stranded capacity inside the existing US power grid right now.

According to Sarangi, India would eventually require a large-scale transmission network similar to the “super grid” model being developed by China, explaining that China plans to invest around 574 billion dollars by 2030 in such infrastructure.

Renewable energy curtailment critical issue; India requires super grid like China: MNRE Secy More deployment of battery energy storage systems, grid forming inverters, synchronous condensers to provide pathway for better integration of RE into grid system, says Sarangi

"The meeting encouraged regions like Asia, Latin America, and Africa to build smart, clean power grids in ways that fit their local needs, while working toward global grid connectivity through shared international standards."

"The transmission system many developed countries have is the wrong system going forward. Our transmission systems in the West are built for transporting power from big coal plants to power big towns. That’s not what we are doing now."
