LS Electric, LS Cable to showcase HVDC systems at CIGRE 2026

LS ELECTRIC (010120.KS) and LS Cable & System will jointly participate in CIGRE 2026 in Paris from August 23 to 28, showcasing technologies aimed at Europe’s expanding power-infrastructure market. Under the theme "The Super Grid That LS Is Building," LS ELECTRIC will operate 13 booths covering 113 square meters and focus on HVDC solutions, AI data-center power systems and direct-current technologies. It will present converter transformers, voltage-source HVDC technology and STATCOM grid-stabilization equipment, drawing on its status as the only company in Korea to have carried out a current-source HVDC project. The company will also promote DC distribution technologies, including solid-state transformers and solid-state circuit breakers, building on its proof of concept at the "DC Factory" in Cheonan, described as the world’s first 100% DC-distribution plant. LS Cable & System will exhibit HVDC submarine and underground cables and superconducting cable systems, while LS Materials (417200.KS) will showcase ultracapacitors for rapidly changing AI data-center power demand. The European Commission estimates that 584 billion euros, about 947.3 trillion won, will be needed for the region’s power grids by 2030, with aging networks, renewable-energy expansion, electrification and cross-border interconnections driving investment.
