PTR Joins EP Shanghai 2026 as Knowledge Partner, Bringing Power Grid and Transformer Market Insights to China’s Leading Electrical Industry Platform
DELAWARE, USA, November 6, 2026 PTR Inc. is pleased to announce its Knowledge Partnership with EP Shanghai 2026, marking its collaboration with one of China’s longest-established international exhibitions dedicated to electric power equipment and technology. Organized by the China Electricity Council and Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd., the 33rd edition of EP Shanghai will take place from 3 to 5 December 2026 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre in Shanghai, China.
The partnership reflects a shared interest in advancing industry knowledge and strengthening engagement across the electrical infrastructure ecosystem. Through its expertise in market intelligence, research, and advisory across the power grid and new energy sectors, PTR will contribute industry perspectives to conversations around the evolving requirements of power infrastructure, with particular relevance to transformers, transmission and distribution equipment, and the technologies supporting grid modernization.
The collaboration comes at a time when the global power industry is facing increasing pressure to expand and modernize electrical infrastructure. Rising electricity demand, renewable energy integration, aging grid assets, and the rapid expansion of data centres are placing greater emphasis on transformer availability, equipment manufacturing capacity, and the resilience of power networks. As one of the world’s major electrical equipment manufacturing markets, China plays an important role in this evolving landscape, making platforms that connect manufacturers, utilities, buyers, and international industry stakeholders increasingly relevant. An additional dimension of the 2026 edition is its co-location with the CDCE China Data Center Expo, bringing together stakeholders from the electrical power and digital infrastructure industries. This convergence highlights the growing relationship between power infrastructure and data centre development, where reliable electricity supply, high-capacity power distribution, and advanced electrical equipment are becoming increasingly important to supporting digital growth.
Through the Knowledge Partnership, PTR aims to contribute market perspectives that connect these developments with the wider requirements of the power industry, supporting greater awareness of emerging trends, supply chain developments, and opportunities across international markets.
