Shanghai Electric Showcases "The Power of Integration" at WFES 2026, with Full-Scenario Energy Solutions for the Middle East

ABU DHABI, UAE, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Shanghai Electric (SEHK: 2727, SSE: 601727) made a high-profile appearance at the World Future Energy Summit (WFES) 2026, which opened today at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center. At the summit, the company showcased its full-scenario energy solutions, including solar power, desalination, hybrid energy storage, hydrogen energy, and green fuels, demonstrating its commitment to empower the Middle East in building a resilient, intelligent, and sustainable energy ecosystem. The Middle East is endowed with abundant oil and gas resources and ample solar potential, yet faces water scarcity, making its energy transition pathway uniquely complex. As one of the largest and most influential renewable energy events in the Middle East and North Africa, WFES brings together global policymakers, industry leaders and technology innovators to address energy transition challenges and promote sustainable energy solutions. "Energy transition is not a simple combination of individual technologies. It is a system-level undertaking," said Zhu Weiwen, Deputy Director of Marketing at Shanghai Electric Power Generation Group. "Shanghai Electric acts as system integrator. We view high-penetration renewable integration, grid stability, green fuel production and industrial decarbonization as an interconnected whole, enabling us to provide executable transition pathways for customers in the Middle East." Against this backdrop, Shanghai Electric's exhibition adopted an immersive, scenario-based design, presenting four integrated solution zones that illustrate the full energy value chain—from generation and storage to conversion and efficient utilization. In the Integrated Solar and Water zone, projects such as the Dubai Solar Park were highlighted as reference projects demonstrating the complementary integration of concentrated solar power, photovoltaic power, and energy storage for 24-hour electricity supply. The zone also showcased Shanghai Electric's seawater desalination capabilities, including its mastery of both thermal-based multi-effect distillation (MED) and membrane-based reverse osmosis (RO) technologies. The Grid Support and Hybrid Storage zone focused on grid stability under high renewable penetration. Shanghai Electric highlighted its "flywheel energy storage plus synchronous condenser" solution, which provides critical inertia support and fast frequency regulation. The solution has been deployed in multiple projects, including the Penasco photovoltaic power plant in Mexico. In the Power-to-X and Hydrogen Energy zone, Shanghai Electric showcased its Bristack® series electrolyzers, featuring an industry-leading energy consumption level of 3.94 kWh/Nm3, alongside a scale model of the Taonan Green Methanol Demonstration Project in Jilin Province, China. As China's first large-scale green methanol demonstration project, it integrates wind power-generated hydrogen with biomass-based green methanol production technology, and has obtained full-process ISCC EU certification. The Zero-Carbon Industrial Parks zone illustrated pathways for high-energy-consuming industrial parks to achieve low-carbon transformation through the synergy of high-efficiency industrial turbines and intelligent energy management systems, enabling system-level efficiency improvements and smart dispatch. Each solution showcased at the Shanghai Electric booth is backed by proven project delivery. From the 2 GW AI Sadawi Photovoltaic Project in Saudi Arabia and the Safi Seawater Desalination Project in Morocco, to the Pancevo Gas-Fired Power Plant in Serbia and the Taonan Green Methanol Project in China, these projects across multiple countries and application scenarios underscore Shanghai Electric's capability to deliver complex, cross-regional integrated energy systems. On the first day of the summit, Shanghai Electric hosted multiple technical roadshows addressing key regional topics such as energy-desalination coupling, green fuels and grid stability, attracting strong interest from industry participants. As a trusted energy system partner, Shanghai Electric continues helping the Middle East and global markets transform abundant natural resources into sustainable, reliable and green energy for the future.

OpenAI and Cerebras sign multi-year deal for AI computing deployment

OpenAI and chipmaker Cerebras have signed a multi-year agreement to deploy up to 750 megawatts of computing capacity using Cerebras’ wafer-scale systems to serve OpenAI customers. The rollout is expected to begin in 2026 and will take place in multiple stages.According to Reuters, the ChatGPT parent will purchase computing power over three years from the chipmaker as it seeks to meet rising demand for AI services and strengthen its position in the AI market. The deal is valued at more than $10 billion.The deployment will focus on high-speed AI inference, which involves running trained models to generate responses. Cerebras said its systems can deliver responses up to 15 times faster than GPU-based systems for tasks such as coding agents and voice chat.The partnership follows years of collaboration between the two firms. OpenAI and Cerebras were both founded in the mid-2010s and have worked together since at least 2017, sharing research and early technical work.Sachin Katti, Compute Infrastructure at OpenAI, said, “OpenAI’s compute strategy is to build a resilient portfolio that matches the right systems to the right workloads. Cerebras adds a dedicated low-latency inference solution to our platform. That means faster responses, more natural interactions, and a stronger foundation to scale real-time AI to many more people.”The agreement would significantly expand the reach of its wafer-scale processor technology starting in 2026. The deployment is expected to support hundreds of millions of users, with the potential to reach billions over time.The agreement comes as AI developers race to secure large amounts of computing power to support growing use of generative AI tools, including chatbots and automated agents, which require fast and reliable inference at scale.
