Kick-off on the Anhui Working Group on Scientific Decision-making and Practice for Green and Low-carbon Development and Seminar on the Transformation of Anhui Coal and Power Industry
The Anhui Working Group on Scientific Decision-Making and Practice for Green and Low-Carbon Development was launched on December 3, 2024. The Anhui Provincial Development and Reform Commission and iGDP, under the leadership of the Anhui Development and Reform Bureau, has joined hands with the Anhui Economic Research Institute to establish the Anhui Working Group on Scientific Decision-Making and Practice for Green and Low-Carbon Development. This working group brings together a group of local, national and international experts with rich practical experience in green and low-carbon development in Anhui. Their research areas include energy transition, power grid systems, transportation, buildings, environment, finance, and other fields. In the future, the working group will focus on Anhui's "dual carbon" work, and conduct in-depth discussions, field research, and thematic studies on related issues. The goal is to produce articles, reports, and policy recommendations with guiding significance, contributing wisdom and strength to the promotion of green and low-carbon development in Anhui.
Symposium on Strengthening Power Demand Side Management and Promoting the Construction of a New Power System
Under the leadership of the Energy Bureau of Guangdong Province, the Guangdong Low-Carbon Development Promotion Association, in cooperation with the Guangdong Energy Research Society and the Guangzhou Institute of Energy Conversion, Chinese Academy of Sciences, held a special symposium on "Strengthening Power Demand Side Management and Promoting the Construction of the New Power System" on November 5. The goal of the workshop was to better understand the significance and impact of power demand management in the context of building a new power system, and to further explore demand-side load regulation capabilities. The symposium invited experts from power companies, research institutions and universities to discuss the mechanism of power demand management, technical approaches and cooperation relationships, and to discuss key issues in tapping the potential of the user side to balance supply and demand. The event was supported by iGDP and was attended by more than 70 representatives from industrial and commercial power users and energy technology service institutions in Guangdong Province.
