MUNICH, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In his speech at the industry convention in Munich, President of Smart PV & ESS Product Line, Huawei Digital Power, Steven Zhou, said the company's strategic focus on grid-forming, integrated solutions that reinforce grid stability to support high renewable penetration in Europe.
In Europe, the penetration of wind and solar is expected to reach 64% by 2030. At the same time, the power system is facing challenges – such as reduced grid resilience and weakened system strength – due to high dispatching complexity and the declining share of traditional synchronous generators.
In response, European markets are increasing grid investment, scaling up grid-forming BESS deployment, developing new grid codes that include grid-forming requirements, and accelerating the shifting of power market from simple energy arbitrage to diversified grid ancillary services. In his speech at The Smarter E 2026, President of Smart PV & ESS Product Line, Huawei Digital Power, Steven Zhou, said these actions send a clear signal that "future PV and BESS products must evolve to become primary power source."
As new energy technologies have developed into a primary power source, the industry has entered a period of active innovation, transitioning from single-point innovation to integrated innovation. Thanks to their grid-forming capability, hybrid PV-BESS solutions are accelerating the replacement of traditional thermal power plants. Key grid-forming functions – such as black start, inertia support, and short-circuit current support – have been fully validated under all operating conditions and timeframes in the power system, with the technical system becoming increasingly refined.
In his speech, Zhou recounted how Huawei's strategic direction developed in response to the evolution of the grid. "Back in 2020, we introduced LUNA, the industry's first smart string energy storage system," said Zhou. "Named after the moon, LUNA was designed to watch over the night, ensuring that clean power no longer ends at sunset. And as you know, our solar inverter is named SUN. Rooted in the sun, it powers the day." Zhou said the role of energy storage has been redefined to guarantee the stability of the entire grid and announced that Huawei has officially upgraded the LUNA brand to LUTERRA. "LUTERRA draws its name from 'Terra' – the Earth. We are moving from lighting up the night, to protecting our planet."
Tying into the company's new Smart PV Strategy, Huawei is leveraging its advantages in the integration of 4T (Bit, Watt, Heat, Battery) foundational technologies to continuously innovate, with the goal of accelerating the construction of a modern power system, including solutions for all user segments and scenarios. In his speech at The Smarter E 2026, Zhou also detailed highlights of C&I projects in Europe using the company's one-fits-all solution that integrates PV, BESS, EV chargers, and AI scheduling. For example, in Germany, AHS business park has achieved a 10% increase in revenue after just two years of operation of a Huawei one-fits-all solution, and in Spain, Zhou noted, "the electricity bill of a Carrefour supermarket is reduced by almost 40% and the payback period is only five years."
Huawei is positioning itself for the evolution of the electricity market. Zhou explained, "In the future, the business models for BESS will become more diversified… Based on flexible hardware and software evolving capability, Huawei's one-match-all platform can adapt to all different business models and maximize benefits."
With demonstrations across the world – from Spain to Mongolia, and Germany to the Philippines – proving the value proposition of Huawei's grid-forming technology, Zhou says the company's core competences "will empower our full-scenario Smart PV and BESS solutions, to bring maximum value for our customers while reinforcing grid stability in high renewable penetration."

Singapore renovation contractor strengthens its position through customer-centric service, operational excellence and long-term expansion plans
SINGAPORE, July 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Your Reno Works Pte Ltd has been named Distinguished Brand of the Year, recognising the company's commitment to service excellence, transparency and customer trust in Singapore's renovation industry. The accolade marks a significant milestone for the homegrown renovation contractor as it approaches a decade of helping homeowners and businesses transform their spaces through reliable, customer-centric renovation solutions.
Established in 2016 by co-founders Muhamed Hafiz Bin Abdul Kadir, Muhammad Na'im Bin Mohamed Naser and Latiif Bin Adnan, Your Reno Works has grown from a small renovation startup into a recognised HDB-licensed renovation contractor serving residential and commercial clients across Singapore. Today, the company has successfully completed more than 500 renovation projects, employs 32 dedicated professionals, and has earned 106 Google Reviews with a perfect 5.0star rating, a reflection of its unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction and service excellence.
At the heart of the company's success is a simple yet powerful promise: "Can Be Trusted." More than a tagline, it is the guiding principle behind every renovation project and every customer relationship the company builds.
"From day one, our vision was to create a renovation company that homeowners and business owners could genuinely trust," said Muhamed Hafiz Bin Abdul Kadir, Co-Founder of Your Reno Works.
"Renovation is a major financial and emotional investment. Our responsibility is not only to complete projects successfully but also to ensure that every customer enjoys a smooth, transparent and stress free journey from consultation to project completion."
Building a Reputation Through Trust
Singapore's renovation market remains highly competitive, with hundreds of contractors and interior design firms competing for homeowners' attention. Amid this landscape, Your Reno Works has distinguished itself through transparent communication, accountability, consistent project delivery and genuine customer care.
Rather than relying solely on marketing, the company has built its reputation through real customer experiences. Its 500+ completed projects, 5.0-star Google rating and growing base of satisfied homeowners demonstrate a proven track record of delivering quality workmanship while honouring commitments.
According to Hafiz, trust is earned through actions not promises.
"We believe trust is earned through consistent communication, quality workmanship and delivering on our promises. Every project we undertake is another opportunity to prove that Your Reno Works truly can be trusted."
From Humble Beginnings to Industry Recognition
The inspiration behind Your Reno Works came from Hafiz's personal experience working within the renovation industry before establishing the company.
During those years, he witnessed firsthand how unethical business practices negatively affected not only homeowners, but also suppliers and business partners. Projects were mismanaged, promises were broken, and trust within the industry was often compromised. Those experiences inspired him to build something different.
Together with his co-founders, Hafiz established Your Reno Works with a clear mission to create a renovation company founded on trust, honesty, accountability and transparency, where customers could feel confident that their homes and investments were in safe hands.
Starting without a showroom or an established brand, the company relied almost entirely on customer referrals, genuine reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations to build credibility.
"In our early years, one of our biggest challenges was convincing customers to trust a young company without a showroom or established track record. We focused on delivering results, encouraging genuine customer reviews and maintaining transparency throughout every project."
That customer-first approach enabled the company to steadily expand its operations, strengthen its capabilities and eventually secure its HDB renovation licence, an achievement that represents far more than regulatory approval.
Obtaining and maintaining an HDB licence requires contractors to meet stringent standards of professionalism, operational competency and regulatory compliance. For Your Reno Works, it reflects the company's ongoing commitment to maintaining the highest industry standards while giving homeowners greater confidence and peace of mind when entrusting their homes to the team.
Strengthening Capabilities for Future Growth
As part of its ongoing growth strategy, Your Reno Works continues to invest in workforce development and service innovation.
The company currently operates selected in-house services, including hacking, painting and cleaning works, enabling greater quality control while improving project efficiency.
It is also expanding its in-house design capabilities, specialised finishing solutions and technical expertise to deliver even greater value to customers.
To further enhance the renovation experience, the company is equipping its team with drafting and technical planning skills, allowing homeowners to better visualise renovation concepts before work begins.
"We want to continue creating value for homeowners by improving both our service standards and technical capabilities. Investing in our people ultimately helps us deliver better outcomes for our customers."
Looking Ahead: From Renovation Contractor to Builder
Looking towards the future, Your Reno Works has ambitious plans for expansion.
The company aims to obtain a builder's licence as the next step in its growth journey, positioning itself to participate in larger-scale construction projects. Over the longer term, it also aspires to expand into property development, creating a more integrated business model within Singapore's built environment sector.
While growth remains a key objective, Hafiz emphasised that the company's values will never change.
"No matter how large we become, trust will always be the foundation of our business. We want every homeowner to remember that when they choose Your Reno Works, they're choosing a company that can be trusted, one that values honesty, professionalism, accountability and transparency above everything else."
A Message for Future Entrepreneurs
Reflecting on the company's journey, Hafiz believes resilience, strong systems and shared values have been critical to long-term success.
"Building a business is never easy. There will always be challenges and differing opinions, especially when multiple partners are involved. What matters is having strong systems, staying aligned on the company's mission and trusting the process."
