Wan Jinsong, deputy director of the National Energy Administration, said that in recent years, China has followed the global energy development trend, based on its basic national conditions and development stage, and unswervingly implemented the new energy security strategy of "Four Revolutions and One Cooperation". It has systematically deployed a series of major strategic tasks such as planning and building a new energy system and a new power system. It has blazed a path of energy transformation that conforms to China's national conditions and meets the requirements of The Times. Energy transition is a challenging and complex long-term process that requires mutual respect among countries around the world, seeking common ground while reserving differences, expanding consensus and moving towards each other. China has always adhered to the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind. It is willing to work with other countries based on the principles of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, continuously strengthen communication and coordination on energy policies, jointly carry out cooperation in energy science and technology innovation, and achieve mutually beneficial and practical cooperation results.
As the main force in the transformation of energy and power, major power enterprises are actively promoting the construction and development of a new power system. Zhang Zhigang, the chairman of State Grid Corporation of China, pointed out that actively responding to the challenges of climate change and accelerating the clean and low-carbon transformation of energy have become a common consensus in the international community. Compared with the traditional power system, building a new type of power system is more challenging and complex. Priority should be given to coordinating development and security, reconstructing the mechanism for scientific and technological innovation, and accelerating the improvement of the economic mechanism.
Cities are the main consumers of energy. How to accelerate the construction of a new power system and achieve the green transformation of urban power grids has become the focus of current policy-making and market attention. As a typical energy-importing megacity, Beijing has been actively responding to the "dual carbon" goals in recent years and continuously promoting the process of green transformation.
Bai Jing, chief engineer of State Grid Beijing Electric Power Company, said that in order to further promote Beijing's "carbon reduction, pollution control, green expansion and growth" in a coordinated manner, State Grid Beijing Electric Power Company has joined hands with Beitou Group to build the "Green Heart Park of Beijing Sub-center" in the city's sub-center. The park has achieved 100% green electricity access and ground source heat pump cooling and heating on the supply side, and popularized green buildings and fully electrified transportation in the park on the consumption side. Relying on the Urban Smart Energy Management System (CIEMS), real-time monitoring and intelligent regulation of energy system operation and energy consumption have been achieved, forming a zero-carbon park model of coordinated development of clean energy and ecological carbon sinks. The "Beijing Sub-Center Green Heart Park" project has been awarded a carbon neutrality certification by TUV SUD, becoming the first net-zero emission carbon neutrality certification for a domestic power industry's participation in the planning and construction of a park since the release of the international standard ISO14068.
The role of the new power system in supporting the zero-carbon and high-quality development of the capital will become more prominent. Bai Jing said that it is expected that by 2025, the scale of green electricity transferred from outside Beijing will exceed 40 billion kilowatt-hours for the first time, accounting for 35% of the total electricity consumption of the whole society. The proportion of electricity in terminal energy consumption has increased to 32%. The proportion of renewable energy consumption has increased to 18%.
