DIGITAL technologies are profoundly reshaping the energy industry, driving the global energy system toward greater efficiency, sustainability and intelligence, experts said at the World Internet of Things Convention (WIOTC) 2025, which runs from 28 to 29 November in Beijing.
The digital energy revolution has become a core engine for upgrading the energy digital economy, said He Qiang, vice chairman of the 2025 WIOTC executive committee, during the smart energy forum.
He noted that big data brings transparency to energy system operations, while artificial intelligence (AI) provides the system with cognitive and decision-making capabilities. Additionally, blockchain technology creates a trusted foundation for distributed energy transactions. All of these technologies are interconnected through the Internet of Things (IoT), forming an integrated digital ecosystem.
This transformation is now unfolding on a global scale.
Wang Yongjie, director of the Energy Working Committee of the China Information Association, observed that technology convergence is making energy monitoring in remote areas possible — as demonstrated by smart microgrid projects in Southeast Asia that provide renewable power while also boosting Chinese equipment exports.
