The IEC Promotion Center (Nanjing) signed a development cooperation agreement with State Grid Fujian Electric Power Co., Ltd. on April 23 in Nanjing city, Jiangsu province.

The signing ceremony was witnessed by Shu Yinbiao, the 36th President of IEC, Academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, and President of Chinese Society for Electrical Engineering, Ruan Qiantu, Chair of the Board and Party Secretary of State Grid Fujian Electric Power Co., Ltd., Shan Shewu, Chair of the Board and Party Secretary of NARI Group, as well as Fan Xiangqian and Yu Qing, Director and Deputy Director of Management Committee of Nanjing Chilin Technology Innovation Park.

The two parties will cooperate in aspects of promoting international standardization of advanced technologies, prompting international layout of energy and power technologies, and building a standardization talent team, in accordance with the agreement. Further efforts will be put into carbon accounting of new-type power system, intelligent power distribution networks, offshore wind power, other emerging and future-oriented industries. Together, the two parties will strive to establish a cradle of international standards innovation, support high-tech innovation with high standards, promote high-level opening up, and lead high-quality development.

In recent years, the State Grid Fujian Electric Power Co., Ltd. focuses on building a clean energy hub in southeast China, a high-energy distribution network platform, and a smart digital ecosystem for power grid in Fujian province. By strengthening cooperation with the IEC Promotion Center, it expects to effectively enhance its ability in international standardization, and continuously empower the technological innovation and cultivation of new quality productivity.

In the process towards carbon peak and neutrality, China should attach great importance to the construction of international mutual recognition rules for carbon emissions, carbon tariffs, and carbon accounting, said Shu Yinbiao. He encouraged the both sides to make vital technological innovation in fields such as new-type power system and digital transformation of energy, speed up the construction of mutual recognition system of international standards and certification, and promote China’s participation in global energy and power sector.
