The full green power guarantee at an international event may seem like an innovative attempt to hold a low-carbon event, but it is actually a concentrated showcase of the achievements of the construction of a new urban power system.

Dual wheel drive solves the problem of consumption and absorption

The 2026 Summer Davos Forum will kick off on June 23 in Dalian, Liaoning. Starting from May 1, 2026, the main venue of the forum, Dalian International Convention Center, will switch to green power. The expected usage of green electricity in venues from May to June 2026 is 1 million kilowatt hours, which can reduce 530 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. The guarantee for stable transmission of green electricity is twofold: on the one hand, it is the green certificate trading contract, and on the other hand, it is the newly launched next-generation dispatch technology support platform.

The large-scale integration of new energy into the grid is the trend of energy transformation, but problems such as unstable output and fragmented main distribution network data have long constrained the widespread implementation of clean energy. Dalian does not simply rely on a single green power procurement, but instead builds a market-oriented trading channel, revitalizes local green power resources, innovates scheduling technology, breaks down data barriers in the power grid, and uses market mechanisms and digital technology to solve the pain points of high proportion new energy consumption.

Scheduling upgrade reshapes energy assets

The new generation scheduling system with deep integration of the main distribution network breaks the management division caused by voltage levels, realizes unified regulation of large and small power sources, and transforms dispersed offshore wind power and distributed photovoltaics from scattered power generation units into integrated and adjustable energy assets. This digital solution breaks free from the limitations of single venue power supply and forms a standardized model suitable for coastal new energy cities, with strong promotional value.

Summer Davos is a window to showcase the concept of green development to the world. Dalian conveys China's determination for low-carbon development to both domestic and international markets with stable and reliable all green power supply. What is more valuable in the long run is that this practice has proven that relying on digital dispatching to improve the carrying capacity of the power grid and relying on market-oriented transactions to facilitate the circulation of green electricity can balance the supply guarantee of major events and the transformation of daily energy. Keywords: green power, intelligent dispatching, new power system

Green electricity practice provides transformation samples

The energy transition is not a one-day effort, as there are differences in resource endowments and power grid conditions in different regions. The overall planning approach explored by Dalian provides clear reference for numerous cities rich in new energy. In the future, we will continue to promote the digital transformation of the power grid and improve the green electricity trading market, so that clean energy can be generated, delivered, and used. Only then can we steadily build a safe, efficient, green, and low-carbon new power system, and continuously inject momentum into the green development of the whole society.Editor/Gong Ziwei
