China’s Renewable Energy Development
No.1 in the world in terms of development scale and speed of wind power and PV.
 integrated wind power capacity grew by 100 times in the last decade.
 integrated PV power capacity grew by 100 times in the last five years.
 RE has became the 3rd major power source.
 The installed capacities of hydro, wind and solar power in China stand at 340 GW, 160
GW and 130 GW respectively,

4. Since 2004, China
completed 8 AC and 13 DC
UHV power transmission
projects.
Another 3 AC and 1
DC UHV projects are under
construction. The total length
of all UHV transmission
lines adds up to 35,000
kilometers. with a trans-
regional power transmission
capacity of 150 GW

Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed
discussions on establishing Global Energy
Interconnection (GEI), to facilitate efforts to
meet global power demands with clean and
green alternatives at the UN Sustainable
Development Summit.
Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed to seize
opportunities presented by new round of the
change in energy mix and the revolution in
energy technologies to develop global energy
interconnection and achieve green & low-
carbon development at the Belt and Road
Summit.

GEI = “Smart Grid + UHV Grid + Clean Energy”.Formal Definition : GEI is
globally interconnected strong
and smart grid with UHV grid as
the backbone, an infrastructure
platform on which clean energy
can be developed, transmitted
and used massively worldwide.
Definition of GEI – GEIDCO ‘s View GEI Equation and Model
Easy to Understand: GEI a
power interconnectivity grid that
mainly transfer clean energy by
utilizing UHV and Smart Grid
technology. GEI is focus on the
clean energy promoting and
transfer clean energy to far way.
Clean Energy transferring is the target
UHV Grid is the key technology to transfer
Smart Grid is the basis to utilize Clean Energy
Roadmap to achieve GEI
Now 2020 2030 2050
Stage 1 Domestic Interconnection Stage 2 Intra-continental Interconnection Stage 3 Intercontinental Interconnection
 Facilitate efforts to develop consensus and
conduct research on technologies and
standards;
 Strengthen intra-country interconnection
and the building of smart grids;
 Develop clean energy in within country.
 Enhance cross-border power grid cross-border;
 Promote the development of clean energy bases.
 Promote the construction of UHV grids;
 Promote the development of energy bases
energy intensive regions;
 Complete basic global energy interconnection.
GEI can be divided into three phases, but the first step before first stage is to get everyone's consensus about the importance of GEI.
Energy Interconnection will make the world strongerr
Energy Interconnect within Country Energy Interconnect between Countries Energy Interconnect all over the world
What is the GEI

7. 7
Role
 An infrastructure platform on which
clean energy can be developed,
transmitted and utilized massively
worldwide.
 A comprehensive energy system that
is cleanliness-dominant, electricity-
centered, globally allocated and
featuring co-construction and
sharing.

8. Prospects
24 billion tons of standard coal equivalent of fossil fuel

Annually reduce
Annually Replace
66.7 billion tons of carbon dioxide
580 million tons of sulfur dioxide
below 11.5 billion tons, only half of 1990 level
By 2050, clean energy will take up 80% of global energy mix

GEI development will be divided into 3 phases: domestic, intra-
continental and intercontinental interconnection, with GEI
basically coming into being in 2050.

China-Myanmar-Bangladesh Interconnection
Bangladesh is one of the most power-
hungry countries.
The project proposal has been
submitted to governments, and the
governments attach great importance to
this project.
The three sides are planning to
establish a joint working group from
China Myanmar and Bangladesh to
conduct the feasibility research.

15.  Mar 30 2016, a MOU of Joint Promotion of An
Interconnected Electric Power Grid Spanning
Northeast Asia was signed and concluded by
GEIDCO, State Grid Co. of China, Korea Electric
Power Co., Japan’s SoftBank Group, and ROSSETI
of Russia.
 The Pilot Project: China-Korea-Japan
Interconnection
 Transmit 2 GW electric power from China to
Japan through Korea in phase one.
 A joint workgroup has been established and
the pre-feasibility study for the pilot project
has been finished.

Northeast Asia Grid interconnection Project
 On December 13, 2017, GEIDCO
signed a MoA for China-Korea Grid
Interconnection project with SGCC and
KEPCO on China-Korea Business Forum
held during President Moon Jae-in’s
visit in China.
 By signing this MoA, China-Korea
Power Grid Interconnection was
announced commencement.

 The overall plan and goal:
• Clean replacement in energy
production
• Electricity replacement in
energy consumption;
• Based on cutting-edge
technologies like UHV and
smart grid;
• GEI backbone network
with 9 horizontal and 9
vertical grids, will serve as
the energy artery connecting
the five continents.

UN High-level Symposium on Nov. 1st
Energy is the golden thread that connects all the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), said by
UN Secretary-General António Guterres during
the symposium.
GEI has been incorporated into the UN framework,
which was reported by the major medias
worldwide. International community has built
extensive consensus on GEI.
On Nov. 1st, 2017, UN DESA and GEIDCO jointly organized a high-level
symposium at UN Headquarters. Global Energy Interconnection Action for
promoting Agenda 2030 is released. 10 actions and 5 mechanisms are
proposed to advance the 17 UN sustainable development goals.
