In March 2016, the first international organization in the energy field initiated by China, the Global Energy Internet Development Cooperation Organization (hereinafter referred to as the "Cooperation Organization"), was established in Beijing. Over the past five years, cooperative organizations have promoted the accelerated development of the construction of the Global Energy Internet and blazed an innovative development path for international organizations with Chinese characteristics.

China Initiative International Action Contributes "Chinese Plan" and "Chinese Power". The Global Energy Internet is based on China's own experience and opportunities and conforms to the world's green and low-carbon development trend.

Liu Zhenya, chairman of the cooperative organization and chairman of the China Electricity Council, said that the essence of the global energy Internet is "smart grid + ultra-high voltage grid + clean energy". It is a modern energy system with clean energy production, wide-area allocation and electrified consumption. An important platform for the large-scale development, transmission and use of clean energy.

On January 22, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres sent a letter to partner organizations praising their efforts in promoting the development of the Global Energy Internet. He pointed out that promoting the world's transition to clean energy and enabling the world to enjoy affordable energy is the only way to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals. The overall planning and coordinated promotion of cooperative organizations have made positive contributions to the development and utilization of clean energy on a global scale.

Corrado Clini, the former Minister of the Italian Ministry of Environment, once wrote that the "Global Energy Internet" proposed by China aims to build a global interconnected power grid that can connect any two places on the map no matter where the power plant is located. Real-time transmission of renewable energy power between countries, this is the first concrete technology and industrial cooperation plan covering the world in related fields.

In the past five years, the cooperative organizations have held more than 50 international conferences and more than 500 presentations to disseminate the concept and development results of the Global Energy Internet and build broader consensus and strength.

The Global Energy Internet has been included in the work framework of implementing the 2030 Agenda, promoting the implementation of the Paris Agreement, promoting global environmental governance, and solving the health problems of poverty and no electricity. It has been included in the policy recommendation outcome documents of the United Nations High-Level Political Forum for three consecutive years.
In 2020, "Building a Global Energy Internet" was included in the policy recommendation report of the United Nations High-level Political Forum for three consecutive years.

During the 2016 G20 Hangzhou Summit, the Global Energy Internet, as a component of global infrastructure interconnection, was included in the policy recommendation report released by the G20 Hangzhou Business Summit (B20).

At the 8th Ministerial Conference of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum in 2018, the Global Energy Internet was written into the conference’s “Beijing Declaration” and “China and Arab States’ Declaration on Cooperation to Build the Belt and Road Initiative.”

Multilateral Cooperation, Co-construction and Sharing "The Global Energy Internet will effectively promote global energy transformation, cope with climate change, protect the ecological environment, promote economic prosperity and social progress, and is an important content and carrier of building a community with a shared future for mankind." Liu Zhenya said.
As of March this year, the total number of members of cooperative organizations has reached 1,157, covering 132 countries and regions, involving energy, information, finance, technology, environmental protection and other fields; cooperative organizations cooperate with the United Nations and its affiliated agencies, relevant national governments, and international organizations , enterprises and institutions have established cooperative relations, and a total of 48 agreements have been signed to jointly carry out major research and project promotion; four professional alliances of Global Energy Internet University, Think Tank, Finance and Equipment have been established successively, with a total of 177, and nearly 40 projects have been carried out. Alliance activities.

Under the guidance of the "Belt and Road" construction, the Global Energy Internet is becoming a breakthrough in the field of infrastructure interconnection, and cooperative organizations and countries along the "Belt and Road" have also built a multi-level cooperation network.

During the first and second "Belt and Road" International Cooperation Summit Forum, cooperative organizations released the "Belt and Road" National Energy Internet Research Report and the "Global Energy Internet Implementation of the "Belt and Road" Development Report" and other results, proposing that the construction include new The "One Belt, One Road" national energy internet program includes seven major power corridors, including the Eurasian Continental Bridge, China, Mongolia, Russia, Northeast Asia, and China-Central Asia-West Asia, and a total of 67 key projects, and has signed more than 10 agreements with relevant countries and United Nations agencies. Cooperation Agreement.

Cooperating organizations have also proposed and promoted a number of “Belt and Road” power interconnection demonstration projects. At present, the China-South Korea interconnection project has launched a feasibility study, the China-Myanmar-Bangladesh interconnection project has established an intergovernmental joint working group, and the cooperation organization has signed a tripartite cooperation agreement with the Ethiopian Ministry of Energy and the Gulf Cooperation Council Interconnection Grid Authority on the Ethiopian and Gulf States interconnection project. protocol.

Jeffrey Sachs, a professor at Columbia University in the United States and chairman of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network, said he very much hopes that the Global Energy Internet can become a benchmark multilateral solution in China’s “One Belt, One Road” initiative, and apply the clean energy, electric power and other technologies being promoted by cooperative organizations. 21st century advanced technologies and smart concepts such as automobiles are perfectly connected with the “One Belt, One Road” initiative.

Innovation Leadership: In the past five years, the cooperative organization has focused on energy, economy, society, environment and other fields, carried out more than 200 research projects, released more than 50 innovative results to the world, and published more than 50 Chinese and English monographs. and report, the top-level design of the Global Energy Internet is overall completed.

On March 18, the cooperative organization released three research results: "China's carbon neutrality before 2060 research report", "China's carbon peak before 2030 research report", and "China's 2030 energy and power development planning research and 2060 outlook". , for the first time in China, a systematic plan was proposed to build China's energy Internet to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals. Xie Zhenhua, China’s special representative for climate change affairs, said it “will play an important role in the low-carbon transformation and carbon neutrality of energy in my country and the world.”
