Global Power Grid Upgrade Boom: Low & Medium-High Voltage Electrical Exports Enter a Super Cycle

The triple trends of global energy transition, aging power grid renovation and large-scale AI data center construction are advancing simultaneously, driving the comprehensive upgrade of worldwide power infrastructure and pushing the export business of low and medium-high voltage electrical equipment into a high-growth super cycle. Industry statistics show that the global electrical equipment market size will reach 1.84 trillion US dollars in 2026, with overseas market demand surging rapidly and bringing enormous development opportunities for premium Chinese electrical brands going global.

Three major driving forces continue to fuel the growth of the industry. First of all, the global energy transition is accelerating. Driven by carbon neutrality goals, wind power, photovoltaic and other new energy projects are being deployed on a large scale. New energy power stations mainly adopt DC power distribution, which puts forward new requirements for low-voltage electrical products with excellent compatibility for DC scenarios and high operational safety. Secondly, renovation of aging power grids has become an urgent task. A large number of power facilities in Europe, Russia, Southeast Asia and other regions have been in service for years, suffering from equipment aging and insufficient power supply capacity. Large-scale grid retrofitting projects are in full swing, triggering a concentrated replacement demand for medium and high-voltage power transmission and distribution equipment. Thirdly, the construction of AI data centers is booming worldwide. The rapid expansion of the computing power industry has led to the launch of numerous large and super-large data centers. Such high-load power consumption scenarios have extremely strict standards for power distribution protection, line safety and uninterrupted power supply, further boosting the rigid procurement demand for professional electrical equipment.

With strong R&D and manufacturing capabilities, People Electric precisely addresses market pain points and launches a lineup of star products tailored for diverse global application scenarios.

For low voltage applications, the RDM8DC Series DC Moulded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) is our flagship product. It is designed for DC power grids ranging from DC 250V to DC 1500V, with a rated operating current from 63A to 800A. Equipped with overload long-delay protection and short-circuit instantaneous protection, it perfectly adapts to DC power distribution systems of new energy power stations and AI data centers. Complying strictly with IEC 60947 international standards, this circuit breaker delivers stable performance and wide compatibility.

In the medium and high voltage segment, the ZN73-12 Series Indoor High-Voltage Vacuum Circuit Breaker (VCB) stands out. With a rated voltage of 12kV, it is developed for 3-phase AC 50Hz power systems. Ideal for substations, industrial and mining enterprises and other occasions with frequent operation, it undertakes power equipment protection and control tasks. Featuring outstanding breaking performance, long service life and low maintenance requirements, it has become a preferred choice for global aging power grid renovation projects.

All products of People Electric have obtained IEC, CE and other mainstream international certifications, fully meeting market access standards across the globe. Our business footprint covers more than 150 regions worldwide, and professional engineering and technical support is available in 87 countries. We have successfully delivered multiple large-scale power projects including transmission lines, thermal power plants and substations in Vietnam. Additionally, People Electric will attend the 34th International Exhibition for Electrical Equipment, Lighting Engineering, Building Automation at Crocus Expo in Moscow from June 8 to 10, 2026 (Booth No.4B085), to further expand our presence in the Eurasian market.

Industry insiders predict that the optimization of global energy structure, long-term power grid renovation and digital infrastructure construction will continue for a long time, keeping the overseas electrical equipment market in a prosperous phase. Moving forward, People Electric will keep leveraging our advantages in products, technology and one-stop power system solutions to seize market dividends. We will actively participate in the construction of global power infrastructure and facilitate the safe and efficient upgrade of power grids around the world.
