Against the backdrop of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) which officially puts forward the goal of building China into an energy powerhouse for the first time, the conference adopts the theme of “Digital Intelligence Empowering New Type Power Systems, Sci-Tech Innovation Leading the Energy Powerhouse Strategy”. It centers on the innovative development of the energy internet, the construction of new type power systems and the digital upgrading of the energy industry.
As a deep integration of internet technologies with energy production, transmission, storage, consumption and market operation, the energy internet has become a core engine driving the high-quality development of China’s energy sector. Experts noted at the conference that amid the country’s pursuit of dual-carbon goals, innovative, intelligent and low-carbon upgrading of the energy system has become an inevitable trend.
Hydrogen energy, one of the pillars for fostering a new energy system, safeguarding energy security and realizing carbon peaking and neutrality, emerged as a key highlight of the conference. Two members of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tang Bo and Guan Xiaohong, delivered keynote speeches on core technologies and industrial demonstrations of seawater hydrogen production, as well as technical routes for hydrogen-powered zero-carbon smart energy systems.
The 2026 Annual Report on the Development of National Energy Internet was officially released at the event, systematically reviewing the policy landscape, industrial ecosystem, technological breakthroughs and pilot practices of China’s energy internet development. As a vital exchange platform, the conference bolsters China’s energy powerhouse strategy and offers valuable insights and practical experience for global climate governance.
