With the help of the home field advantage of the APEC conference, power enterprises have seized green opportunities, and new power system products in the whole industry chain, such as generation, storage, transmission and transformation, have become highl

On October 20-22, the 24th APEC Conference was held in Xiamen, and Vice President Han Zheng attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech.

This congress is organized byHosted by the East Asia and Western Pacific Electric Power Industry Association and the China Electricity Council, and co-sponsored by 18 major Chinese power enterprises and units. After nearly 20 years since 2004, the APEC Conference has once again been hosted by Chinese mainland, and the event has attracted much attention from all walks of life.

With the theme of "Green and Low-carbon, Electric Brightening the Future", the conference attracted more than 3,000 guests from nearly 600 units, including government departments, power enterprises, industry associations, research institutions and colleges and universities from more than 50 countries and regions.

The reporter of "Daily Economic News" learned from the scene of the conference that the next sessionThe APA Conference is hosted by Singapore.

The rapid economic development of the Asia-Pacific region has led to strong growth in energy consumption

The reporter of "Daily Economic News" observed at the conference site that representatives of energy and power enterprises at home and abroad had extensive discussions on key issues in the field of energy and power of Asia-Pacific and global concern.

In September 2021, China announced that it would stop building new overseas coal power projects. Following this commitment,The National Development and Reform Commission and other departments have successively issued itDocuments such as the Opinions on Promoting the Green Development of the Belt and Road Initiative and the 14th Five-Year Plan for a Modern Energy System provide guidance for China's future overseas energy investment. Major domestic power enterprises have shifted to focus on green investment.

Representatives of the participating companies hope to take advantage ofThe 24th APEC Conference is a platform to discuss green and low-carbon development trends, share industry-leading ideas and development experience, and build a community with a shared future for East Asia and the Western Pacific to meet new challenges in energy security, climate change and sustainable development.

"BiennialThe APEC Conference has become a highly appealing energy and power summit. ”Xin Baoan, Chairman of the 2022-2023 APEC, Chairman of the China Electricity Council, and Chairman of the State Grid Corporation of China, said in his speech, "The Asia-Pacific region is the most dynamic growth belt in the global economy and the region with the strongest energy consumption in the world. ”

It is worth noting that the current situation of energy transition in the Asia-Pacific region is not optimistic.

AsLi Zhenguo, founder and president of LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (SH601012, stock price of 25.55 yuan, total market value of 193.6 billion yuan, hereinafter referred to as "LONGi Green Energy"), emphasized in a keynote speech that the Asia-Pacific region is the most dynamic and potential region in the world, with the largest energy demand and the fastest growth of renewable energy in the world. Electricity demand in the Asia-Pacific region has increased by 200% in the past 20 years, but the situation is still very serious, and the Asia-Pacific region still relies heavily on coal for power generation, accounting for 57% in 2022, so the full decarbonization of the Asia-Pacific region is a long way off.

Nan Cunhui, chairman of Chint Group, also said that as one of the strongest regions in the world, the energy and power industry in the Asia-Pacific region will usher in broad development space such as green and low-carbon transformation on the power side, grid-side interconnection, and continuous growth of load-side consumption.

New power system products became the highlight of the exhibition

The "Daily Economic News" reporter found in the exhibition area of the conference that the products developed around the new power system have becomeState Grid, China Huaneng and Inner Mongolia Electric Power Group and other main highlights of exhibitors.

From photovoltaic panels, photovoltaic modules, to new power system multi-scenario solutions, to integrated energy management platforms and other products of the whole industry chain of "generation, storage, transmission, transformation, distribution, sales and use", attracting many exhibitors and visitors to experience or negotiate. A number of on-site staff introduced their new solutions and other products in the fields of power generation side, transmission and transformation system, energy storage and other fields.

In addition, in terms of going overseas, Chinese energy and power enterprises have also shown increasing activity and enthusiasm, and many exhibitors have laid overseas business display areas at their booths.

The relevant person in charge of Chint overseas market told reporters that the company based on the advantages of intelligent electrical and photovoltaic new energy industry, and continuously carried out international production capacity cooperation, business has spread to more than 140 countries and regions around the world, and more than 80% of the "Belt and Road" countries have established cooperative relations of varying degrees.

For future market expansion in the Asia-Pacific region,Xin Baoan suggested that, first, we should exchange and learn from each other to better promote the green development of energy in the Asia-Pacific region. Vigorously support the development of the clean energy industry, actively advocate green consumption, and promote the green transformation of development methods and lifestyles with the green transformation of the energy industry.

Second, we should work together to better promote Asia-Pacific energy connectivity. Actively participate in the joint construction of the "Belt and Road", continue to expand the scale of cross-border power interconnection, and promote the optimal allocation and sharing of power resources on a larger scale and with higher efficiency.

thirdIt is necessary to collaborate and innovate to better lead the high-quality development of Asia-Pacific power. Focus on key areas such as high-end power equipment, flexible power transmission, and new power grids, increase cross-industry, interdisciplinary and cross-border joint research efforts, and promote technology transfer and sharing.

Fourth, we should achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, and better strengthen cooperation in power governance in the Asia-Pacific region. Promote the deep integration of the power industry chain, supply chain and value chain in the region, and condense the largest common divisor of Asia-Pacific power cooperation.
