Hainan holds global forum on energy sector
Zheng Waisheng, general manager of the strategic planning department at CSG and board chairman of CSG Electric Power Research Institute, unveiled plans to establish 35 demonstration zones tailored for new power systems across seven major scenarios, with a keen focus on the large-scale integration of new energy sources. By year-end, these zones will undergo comprehensive evaluation and the selection of 15 cutting-edge technologies and business models for further promotion. "The company is committed to accelerating the development of experimental fields to trial new technologies, equipment, and models for new power systems, with the goal of transforming Yunnan and Hainan into provincial demonstration areas for new power systems by 2035," he added.
Drawing from the example of Boao's Dongyu Island, permanent venue of the Boao Forum for Asia, the island has made significant strides in achieving green energy supply and full electrification of energy consumption. Carbon emissions have dwindled by 97 percent compared to 2019, edging closer to zero carbon emissions, according to Hainan Power Grid Co. By 2035, Hainan province is expected to emerge as a fully-fledged province showcasing new power systems, boasting clean energy generation capacity and electricity share surpassing 90 percent.
