Xinhua news agency, Beijing, September, 2 (reporter Chen Weiwei and Zhao Chao), chairman of the national Power Grid Corp, Liu Zhenya, 2, said that we need to build the global energy Internet, co-ordinate the development, allocation and utilization of global energy resources, so as to ensure the safety, cleanliness, efficiency and sustainable supply of energy.

The eleventh session of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting of energy ministers was held in Beijing on 2 days. Liu Zhenya on the same day in "APEC energy ministers and entrepreneurs luncheon" said that we need to accelerate the revolution of energy production and consumption, and vigorously promote clean substitution and electric energy substitution. Clean alternative is to replace fossil energy with clean energy in energy development. Electric energy substitution is to implement electricity generation instead of coal and electricity instead of oil, increasing the proportion of electric energy to end energy consumption, reducing fossil energy consumption and environmental pollution.

He believes that the establishment of a global view of energy is an important prerequisite for promoting energy change. The global energy Internet from across the continent, transnational and national backbone grid of the voltage level of the power grid, connecting pole together (polar and equatorial) large energy base, to adapt to a variety of centralized and distributed power supply, to wind and solar power, ocean energy and other renewable energy delivered to all types of users, is the wide range of services, configuration capability safety, high reliability, low carbon green global energy configuration platform.

Liu Zhenya said that building the global energy Internet includes intranets, intercontinental networking and global interconnection. The key is to develop large scale energy bases such as "one pole and one way", build the global UHV backbone grid, promote the wide application of smart grid in the world, and enhance energy and power technology innovation.
