A proposal put forth by China—and one that it says has received “positive responses” and substantial backing from international groups, including the United Nations—foresees a global smart ultra-high-voltage (UHV) grid that transmits only “clean energy.”
The Global Energy Interconnection (GEI) outlined by State Grid Corp. Chairman Zhenya Liu on February 25 at the IHS CERAWeek event in Houston is the world’s best hope to meet global energy demand with clean alternatives, he said. The proposal is both a blueprint for the development of low-carbon power and a roadmap “for combating climate change,” Liu said.
