Xiamen Net News (Xiamen Daily reporter Li Xiaoping) Yesterday, the 24th Asia-Pacific Electronics Association Conference opened in Xiamen. In the keynote speech session, relevant representatives from energy and power authorities, international organizations, power companies and other relevant countries focused on the theme of “green and low-carbon electricity to brighten the future” to discuss power development, seek mutually beneficial cooperation and create a better future.
The Asia-Pacific region is the most dynamic growth belt of the global economy and the region with the strongest energy consumption in the world. Per capita installed power generation capacity and electricity consumption are more than 1.4 times the global level. It plays an important role in maintaining global energy security and responding to climate change. According to PwC’s 2022 Net Zero Economic Index, the average decarbonization rate in the Asia-Pacific region in 2021 is 1.2%, while the overall global decarbonization rate is 0.5%.
Sending the strongest voice of cooperation to jointly promote energy transformation in Asia-Pacific
At present, Asia-Pacific Electricity Association member countries and regions are experiencing unbalanced and inadequate power development, and the task of green transformation and upgrading is heavy. At the forum, relevant power departments and enterprises from participating countries and regions issued the “strongest message” to strengthen cooperation. The conference pointed out that energy in the Asia-Pacific region is interconnected and affects each other. Only by adhering to the principles of consultation, co-construction and sharing can we effectively cope with challenges, jointly promote the green and low-carbon transformation of energy in the Asia-Pacific, and inject new impetus and vitality into the development and prosperity of the Asia-Pacific region. ; Continuously deepen industrial docking and production capacity cooperation, promote in-depth integration of the power industry chain, supply chain, and value chain in the region, and condense the greatest common denominator of Asia-Pacific power cooperation.
“We hope to use regional cooperation to improve Hong Kong’s zero-carbon energy supply.” Luo Jiajin, President of Hong Kong CLP Power Co., Ltd., extended an “olive branch” and looked forward to cooperating with different industries and companies to ensure that Hong Kong has a mature and reliable hydrogen energy supply.
Datuk Indra Baharin Bin Tin, President and CEO of Tenaga Nasional Berhad, said that in the face of energy transformation, ASEAN member states including Malaysia are facing great challenges and need to balance the triple dilemma of energy. :Equality, continuity and security. “If a country does it alone, it will not only be stressful, but also economically unfeasible. To achieve zero carbon, countries must cooperate to optimize the allocation of resources.” He said frankly.
Actively export the “China Plan” to promote the development of green energy
Qiu Xiujin, president of Singapore Energy Group and New Energy Grid Company, pointed out that according to the CNBC report, China is recognized as the undisputed global leader in the field of renewable energy. Last year, the growth rate of new power grid projects in China was almost equal to that of the rest of the world combined. China is becoming the “guiding light” in promoting decarbonization in the Asia-Pacific region.
Andrew Macleod, CEO of New Zealand’s Northern Power Company, said he was deeply encouraged by the many new technological achievements he had seen in China. He believes that to achieve decarbonization, the biggest pressure for New Zealand currently is the upgrade of the power transmission and distribution system and network security maintenance. With the energy reform, energy storage methods will also change, and more distributed energy storage may be needed. I believe that the power generation side will have great potential in the future. “Unlike other countries, New Zealand often faces storms, which requires our energy to be more resilient to meet fluctuating demand. Next, we will strengthen cooperation with Chinese companies in these areas.”
At present, the international energy pattern is undergoing profound adjustments and the energy system is undergoing profound changes. Ensuring energy security and promoting the development of green energy have become the themes of the energy transformation. New energy is ushering in a period of promising strategic opportunities. Many Chinese companies are actively participating in the new energy development trend. , stepping up the pace of overseas deployment. At the conference, industry giants from China Huadian Group, China Southern Power Grid, China Three Gorges Corporation, China National Nuclear Corporation, etc. successively shared their latest technological achievements and provided “Chinese solutions” for the upgrading of the power industry in Asia-Pacific countries and regions. , including the construction of digital green power grids, construction of interconnected energy facilities, and various key core technologies.

Francisco La Camera, Director General of the International Renewable Energy Agency:
Create a sustainable future for future generations
The power industry is one of the world’s largest sources of carbon dioxide emissions, and decarbonizing the power industry by 2050 is critical to combating climate change and reducing global greenhouse gas emissions.
To align the global energy transition with climate goals, we must focus on three key aspects: first, we need to build the necessary infrastructure and make large-scale investments to support new production layouts, trade patterns and demand centers; second, we need to It is necessary to promote the establishment of policy and regulatory frameworks to enable targeted investments to promote socio-economic and environmental development; third, institutions must be strategically readjusted and skills developed to cope with the high proportion of renewable energy in the energy system. Condition. Through these courses of action and taking the necessary measures, we can effectively address the climate change crisis and ensure a sustainable future for future generations.

Darmavan Prasojo, CEO of Indonesia’s National Electric Power Corporation:
Solving the challenges of energy transition through solidarity and cooperation
Temperatures have hit record highs in many parts of the world, and it is urgent to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As a state-owned power company, Indonesian Electric Power Company has accelerated its renewable energy development plan in recent years, designed and developed large-scale green transmission networks, strived to increase the proportion of green energy, and implemented its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions with practical actions.
As the energy transformation enters a critical stage, strategic, technical, financial and other challenges are coming one after another, but there are also huge opportunities. In this context, deepening cooperation is the only way out. We must join hands to seize opportunities and overcome difficulties.
Why is collaboration so important? Accelerating the development of renewable energy requires huge investment. It is not enough to rely on one’s own efforts, but must rely on cooperation. Furthermore, reducing carbon emissions is a global problem and requires global solutions. We call on everyone to unite and carry out in-depth cooperation in strategy, policy, technological innovation, investment and other aspects. (Compiled by Xiamen Daily reporter Lin Luhong)
Shu Yinbiao, Chairman of the Chinese Society of Electrical Engineering, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and Chairman of the 36th International Electrotechnical Commission:
China’s electric power industry has achieved remarkable results in its green and low-carbon transformation
Green and low-carbon development has become a broad consensus in the world today, and China has proposed the goal of striving to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. Electricity is the core of the energy system. The implementation of re-electrification, with electricity as the center and the new power system as the platform, and promoting green and low-carbon transformation will play a vital role in achieving the dual carbon goals. In recent years, especially after the dual carbon goals were proposed, in accordance with the guidelines of accelerating the construction of a new power system that is clean, low-carbon, safe, abundant, cost-effective, coordinated with supply and demand, flexible and intelligent, China’s green and low-carbon power transformation has entered an accelerated period and has built a world-class power system. The largest clean power supply system in the world. As of August this year, China’s installed power generation capacity reached 2.76 billion kilowatts, of which non-fossil energy installed capacity reached 1.39 billion kilowatts, accounting for more than 50%, which is 4.7 percentage points higher than the world average. New energy has become the second largest power source, with wind power and photovoltaic installed capacity reaching 910 million kilowatts, accounting for about 1/3 of the global total. 70% of new power generation in 2022 will come from new energy power generation.

Yu Bing, General Manager of National Energy Group:
Building a new power system requires coordinating development and safety
The supply of new power system construction is diversified and there are many participants. The focus is to coordinate development and safety, actively explore pragmatic paths for the coordinated development of traditional energy and new energy, give full play to the protective role of coal power, and further promote coal and coal power, coal The “two joint ventures” of electricity and renewable energy ensure the safety and stability of the energy industry chain and supply chain.
At present, the triangular relationship between energy security, economy, and environmental sustainability is characterized by complex interweaving, mutual constraints, and dynamic balance. We must implement the planning and layout, establish a capacity mechanism and backup ancillary services, improve the renewable energy green power certificate system, and realize a power supply system with “more reasonable layout, greatly improved efficiency, and more abundant supply” from the source.
The new power system will completely change the development model of the traditional power system and gradually form a new form of “source grid load storage” interaction and supply and demand coordination. It is necessary to give full play to the role of the demand side and vigorously promote the innovation of smart energy formats and business models represented by the integration of “source, grid, load and storage” and multi-energy complementation. (Compiled by Xiamen Daily reporter Lin Luhong)
Zou Lei, Chairman of China Datang Group:
There are plans to gradually reduce the proportion of traditional energy sources
The 18 member countries and regions of the Asia-Pacific Electricity Association have played an important role in maintaining global energy security and responding to climate change. However, the problem of unbalanced and inadequate power development is still prominent, and green transformation and upgrading have a long way to go.
In this regard, I make four suggestions: First, accelerate the large-scale development of new energy, accelerate the historical process of new energy from incremental to main energy, rely on advanced technology to promote sustained and rapid growth of wind power and solar power; second, accelerate the advancement of traditional Energy transformation and upgrading, and scientific and reasonable design of construction paths, gradually reducing the proportion of traditional energy in a planned and step-by-step manner, ensuring energy security and economic security during the transition period of new power system construction; third, accelerating the advancement of new energy power technology innovation, using new technologies, New business formats and new models lead the green upgrading of industries, and the traditional energy field must explore feasible paths and key technologies for “carbon neutrality”; fourth, accelerate the electrification of end-use energy and promote the comprehensive green transformation of production methods and energy consumption systems.
