In his office in Abu Dhabi, the Director General of the International Renewable Energy Agency, Lakamela, recounted the impressive achievements of China's energy transition. The head of this international organization sincerely praises the cost reduction of photovoltaic wind power and the clean installation that surpasses coal-fired power in one fell swoop. The Chinese plan is becoming an important engine for global emissions reduction.

Write down the cost

Lakamela said that China's biggest contribution to energy transformation is providing low-cost renewable energy technologies to the world. China's continuous advancement in technologies such as solar energy, wind energy, and batteries has led to a significant reduction in the cost of related products. Internationally, China provides competitive technology and equipment to make it more affordable and accessible; Domestically, China continues to increase investment in renewable energy and expand the scale of clean power installation. According to data from the National Energy Administration of China, as of the end of July this year, the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation in China reached 1.286 billion kilowatts, surpassing coal-fired power generation for the first time and becoming the largest installed power category. This change reflects the significant progress made in the transformation of China's energy system. Keywords: Energy Transition, International Renewable Energy Agency

The power grid has become a new focus

Lakamela has visited renewable energy facilities in many parts of China, and he was impressed by the progress of offshore wind power in China, as well as the technological advancements and project scale. Looking ahead, he called for strengthening international cooperation and combining development goals with the infrastructure needed to build new energy systems. With the rapid growth of renewable energy installed capacity, power grid construction and upgrading should become a priority task in the next stage. Developing countries not only need affordable clean energy equipment, but also need interconnected, flexible and adjustable power grids. Strengthening cooperation in technology, financing, and infrastructure can benefit more countries from the reduction of renewable energy costs and accelerate global emissions reduction. China's experience shows that technological progress and large-scale deployment can mutually promote each other.Editor/Min Jing
