MUNICH, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dahua Technology, a world-leading video-centric AIoT solution and service provider, showcased its latest innovations for the renewable energy industry at Intersolar Europe 2026. Under the theme "Visible AI in New Energy," Dahua demonstrated how AIoT technologies can help energy operators enhance efficiency, reliability, and security across the entire energy value chain, from power generation and transmission to consumption.
At this year's exhibition, Dahua presented a comprehensive portfolio of solutions covering five key application areas: Intelligent Security, Equipment Inspection, HSE-PPE Management, EV Charging, and Smart Control Centre. Together, these solutions address the growing need for smarter operations, safer workplaces, and more efficient asset management across renewable energy infrastructure.
For Intelligent Security, Dahua showcased perimeter protection solutions for photovoltaic plants and energy facilities, integrating thermal imaging, radar-camera linkage, triple-lens monitoring, and solar-powered wireless security. Powered by self-developed thermal algorithms, the solution extends detection range by up to 85%. In a photovoltaic project in Brazil, the solution reduced more than 1,000 daily false alarms generated by 204 devices to approximately one false alarm per device per week. In Europe, Dahua's AI-enabled perimeter protection solutions have also been deployed at a 60 MW solar park in Romania.
For Equipment Inspection, Dahua demonstrated intelligent inspection solutions tailored for substations and other geographically dispersed energy assets. By continuously monitoring equipment temperature and operating status, the system helps operators identify potential abnormalities at an early stage. Automated inspection records and reports further support predictive maintenance strategies, improving operational efficiency while reducing manual inspection workloads.
To enhance workplace safety, Dahua presented its HSE-PPE solutions, featuring both fixed and portable AI-powered detection systems. The solutions automatically verify whether personnel entering high-risk areas are wearing required protective equipment, such as helmets and safety vests, and provide real-time alerts when irregularities are detected, helping strengthen safety compliance across energy facilities.
Dahua also showcased its EV charging portfolio, including AC charging solutions for residential scenarios and DC fast-charging solutions for commercial applications. Supported by a cloud-based management platform and mobile app, the solutions enable users to monitor charging status, configure charging schedules, and manage charging operations with greater flexibility and convenience.
Complementing these applications, Dahua's Smart Control Centre integrates security, inspection, and operational management into a unified platform powered by DSS Professional. The platform supports remote video monitoring, alarm management, inspection task scheduling, and historical data analysis, providing operators with a centralized view of site operations. In Italy, Dahua's thermal perimeter protection solution and DSS Professional platform enabled centralized management across remote solar sites and was later expanded to cover 80 sites with approximately 1,600 thermal cameras.
Together, these solutions reflect Dahua's commitment to advancing the renewable energy industry through intelligent technologies and comprehensive lifecycle protection. Looking ahead, Dahua will continue collaborating with global partners to explore innovative AI applications that support a safer, more efficient, and more sustainable energy future.

Dahua Technology Showcases "Visible AI in New Energy" at Intersolar Europe 2026
- Delivered 27% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in Scope 1, 2 (market based) and 3 compared to 2019 base year
- Achieved 100% renewable electricity in Scope 2 and 90% renewable share of total energy consumption (Scopes 1, 2 and 3).
- Advanced Global Reference Design (GRD), embedding lower-carbon materials, energy-efficient systems, and near-zero wastewater cooling into new architectural developments.
LONDON, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Colt Data Centre Services (Colt DCS), a global provider of AI-ready, hyperscale and large enterprise data centre solutions, today announced the publication of its fourth annual Sustainability Report.
The report outlines the company's sustainability performance over 2025 and includes data across its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) material topics, identified and prioritised through a Double Materiality Assessment conducted in 2024.
It reveals that Colt DCS has delivered a 27% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in Scope 1, 2 (market-based) and 3 compared to the 2019 base year.
Last year, the data centre provider also sourced 100% renewable electricity in Scope 2, through renewable energy certificates, and a 90% renewable share of total energy consumption (Scopes 1, 2 and 3).
This reduction reflects the company's continued commitment to decarbonising the design, development, and operation of its data centres.
Building on this approach, Colt DCS advanced its Global Reference Design (GRD) in 2025, further developing a repeatable, standardised blueprint that is flexible enough to adapt to local requirements while maintaining consistency in its core principles across future developments. The GRD embeds energy-efficient systems, lower embodied carbon materials and near-zero wastewater cooling technologies into all new data centre architecture, while targeting an annualised PUE below 1.2 and waste diversion rates of 75% in construction and demolition and 90% in operations.
Addressing water use, the GRD incorporates chilled water systems using low-GWP refrigerants with near-zero water consumption, alongside rainwater harvesting for non-potable indoor use. Closed-loop liquid cooling systems circulate coolant in a sealed loop, transferring heat without relying on evaporation.
Further key features from the 2025 Sustainability Report include:
- Achieved the Great Place To Work certification, with 92% of employees recommending Colt DCS as a top employer (up from 87% in 2024).
- Won The Best Talent Developer of the Year at the Data Centre World Awards.
- Attained TRUE Zero Waste certification across 3 sites, including London North, Tokyo Inzai 1-3 and Osaka Keihanna.
- Reached a global PUE of 1.41.
- Secured ISO 27001 Information Security Management System certification globally, and ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certification across the UK and Europe.
Anthea van Scherpenzeel, Head of Environmental Sustainability at Colt DCS, stated:
"We are proud of the progress made in reducing absolute emissions in 2025 as we continue advancing towards our 2045 net zero target. Whole life carbon assessments are helping customers and partners identify key sources of value-chain emissions and understand the impact of design and procurement decisions. Through close collaboration with suppliers and industry partners, we are confident we can continue delivering projects at speed and scale while making steady progress towards our SBTi targets."
Dina Nassar, Sustainability Analyst at Colt DCS, added: "As the growth of AI introduces new efficiency challenges for data centre operators across the globe, we continue to advance how we design, build and operate our data centres. Our revised GRD underpins the efficiency gains made in 2025, by ensuring lower embodied carbon materials and advanced cooling technologies are baked in at the design stage."
