Huawei drives sustainable transition for Latin America at IX Energy Week

November 4, 2024

Huawei Digital Power has reinforced its leadership role in the energy transition at Paraguay’s IX Energy Week in Asunción. The event brought together experts from across the region to discuss the strategies needed to address critical challenges and chart a path towards a more sustainable energy future for both Latin America and the Caribbean.

Andrés Rebolledo, Executive Secretary of the Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE), presented the “Energy Panorama of Latin America and the Caribbean 2024”, which revealed a scenario of moderate growth in energy supply, increasing demand and significant progress in the transition to renewable sources.

Huawei Digital Power took centre stage, showcasing its innovative portfolio of solutions designed to empower a more efficient and renewable energy landscape:

  1. Utility-scale: Smart PV and ESS Solution

The FusionSolar Smart PV and ESS solution delivers benefits including lower LCOE, high safety and reliability, grid friendliness and smart O&M to support a high proportion of renewable energy and power electronics equipment. The solution enables power grids to integrate more renewable energy to ensure a continuous and reliable power supply.

  • C&I: Brand New OASIS Solution

For C&I scenarios, the Huawei FusionSolar C&I OASIS solution delivers four core values: system-level active safety, enhanced green power supply, enhanced power grid support and lifecycle intelligence. The solution integrates innovative technologies and reliable products to create long-term stable revenue for partners and customers, empowering every industry with an ubiquitous PV+ESS+Charger.

  • Residential: A home that always shines

Leading the industry in home energy management to redefine residential energy consumption and build zero-carbon homes, the FusionSolar One-Fits-All Solution 5.0 provides customers with unparalleled safety, quality and ease of use, helping more families to live a low-carbon lifestyle.

Beyond Innovation: Collaboration and Social Responsibility

Huawei Digital Power goes beyond simply offering cutting-edge products. The company actively fosters a collaborative environment, working closely with industry partners and organizations to develop new industrial standards. This collaborative approach promotes a healthy and sustainable energy ecosystem throughout the region.

  • Lighting the Way in Mexico: FusionSolar’s installation of solar panels at a Mexican childcare centre resulted in a significant 50% reduction in electricity costs.
  • Powering Healthcare in Peru: FusionSolar’s contribution to the “Renewable Energy for Health Facilities Project” provided reliable 24/7 power to 13 health centres in Peru’s Huancavelica region. This not only ensured uninterrupted healthcare delivery but also contributed to an annual reduction of 41 tons of CO2 emissions.
  • Pioneering green living in Panama: Hermanos Gago is a leading food importer and distributor in Panama. Huawei’s FusionSolar Smart PV Solution was installed at its industrial zone in Panama City, an important step for sustainable development. The rooftop PV system saves 97% of the factory’s electricity costs (about US$20,000 annually), while eliminating  5,080 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
  • Building the Future in the Red Sea: The landmark Red Sea project, powered by FusionSolar’s innovative Smart String Grid-Forming ESS Platform, stands as the world’s first city-scale microgrid powered entirely by renewable energy. The pioneering project delivers clean energy to a range of urban utilities, setting a groundbreaking example for sustainable urban development and energy independence.

Leading the Charge Toward a Carbon-Neutral Future

Huawei’s commitment extends beyond Latin America. As of the end of September 2024, Huawei Digital Power had played a pivotal role in generating a staggering 1337.7 billion kWh of green energy globally, contributing significantly to both energy saving and reduction of CO2 emissions.
