Ant Digital Technology Joins Hands with GCL ET to Establish Ant Xinneng, Focusing on Energy AI
On June 12, at the SNEC Shanghai Photovoltaic Exhibition, Ant Digital Technology (Ant Group's digital technology subsidiary) and GCL ET (GCL Energy Technology Co., Ltd.) jointly announced the establishment of a joint venture, Ant Xinneng. The new company will deeply integrate Ant Digital Technology's technical strengths in artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and other fields with GCL ET's industrial advantages in energy project development, construction, and operation management, aiming to create an "AI driven next generation new energy ecosystem."
It is reported that Ant Xinneng will target the trillion-level market for energy AI applications. By integrating industry data with AI large model technologies, it will achieve intelligent operation and decision making across various power business scenarios, including power station operation and maintenance, electricity trading, and virtual power plants. Additionally, Ant Xinneng will explore new scenarios and solutions such as energy RWA (Real World Assets) and build an open technology platform for Energy as a Service (EaaS).
Previously, GCL ET and Ant Digital Technology had engaged in multiple collaborations at both corporate and business levels. In December 2024, the two sides signed a strategic agreement and completed the first photovoltaic green asset RWA project. In March 2025, they released a photovoltaic scenario use case of the energy time series large model EnergyTS around energy AI, helping to improve the development and operation efficiency of power resources and the return on derivative services.
Zhu Yufeng, President of GCL Group and Chairman of GCL ET, stated that the deep cooperation between GCL ET and Ant Digital Technology is a model of the synchronized development of the digital economy and energy industry. This is not only GCL ET's strategic choice to embrace the AI wave but also an active reshaping of the future energy landscape. Ant Xinneng will become one of GCL's core growth engines in the new era.
Bian Zhuoqun, Vice President of Ant Group and President of Ant Digital Technology's Blockchain Business, said that the establishment of Ant Xinneng marks a key step in the deep empowerment of the energy industry by cutting edge technologies. He looks forward to deepening cooperation with GCL ET to jointly build an intelligent and efficient energy service system, contributing to the "double carbon" goals and sustainable development.
