CHINT Global Footprint: Lighting Industry Transformation

A smarter grid starts with smarter substations. Amid rising electricity demand and ongoing grid modernization across the Philippines, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) is advancing its Visayas Substation Upgrading Project to strengthen transmission resilience and operational efficiency.

CHINT Electric Co., Ltd. has earned the EcoVadis Gold Medal in its FY2025 sustainability assessment, scoring 84 points overall — a 5-point year-on-year improvement — and advancing its global percentile from the top 4% to the top 3% of all rated enterprises worldwide.

As Europe's power grids evolve to accommodate renewable energy, electrification and rapidly growing electricity demand, CHINT showcased its latest power solutions at CIGRE 2026, highlighting how advanced technologies can help utilities and energy customers modernize their grids, improve reliability and accelerate the energy transition.

As China continues to advance its large-scale west-to-east and north-to-south power transmission strategy, Ultra-High Voltage (UHV) transmission has become the backbone of long-distance electricity delivery. At the heart of every UHV transmission project is the transformer—a critical piece of equipment that determines system efficiency, reliability, and operational safety.

Recently, CHINT ELECTRIC's independently developed NG7-38(Z) Series Metal Enclosed Gas Insulated Switchgear has successfully passed rigorous testing by Intertek ETL, earning the prestigious ETL North American certification. As the first medium-voltage switchgear product in China to receive this certification, it marks another breakthrough for CHINT in high-end electrical equipment manufacturing and serves as a "golden pass" to the North American and global high-end markets.

On July 29, Bloomberg Green Greater China announced its 2026 "The Workplace for ALL" list, and following a rigorous verification and comprehensive evaluation process, CHINT was recognized for the third consecutive year. The selection process, guided by rigorous international standards, highlights companies that excel in social responsibility, employee development, and fostering a sustainable culture of diversity and inclusion, positioning them as global leaders in talent cultivation and sustainable growth.
