Power interconnection is the most pressing issue in the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area and also the area with the greatest market potential. In response to the adjustment of the global economic structure, China and ASEAN countries can go through six major efforts to strengthen the connection between power and electricity Close cooperation.
First, to further strengthen the regional power cooperation and communication mechanisms. Xi Datate, director of energy policy and planning department of Laos Ministry of Energy and Mines, said that in 1995, relevant countries in the Greater Mekong Sub-region established a mechanism for electricity cooperation and set up a regional power exchange coordination committee to sign regional power interconnection and trade agreements, Regional power cooperation has achieved some results. At present, the power cooperation and exchange mechanism between China and ASEAN on a regional basis needs to be further strengthened.
The second is to actively implement the "China-ASEAN Joint Statement on Capacity-building Cooperation" to promote cooperation in power capacity. Helu · Diwanuo Secretary-General of Indonesia Electric Power Association believes that the development of ASEAN power needs to introduce capital technology to undertake superior production capacity; China's power industry has entered a relatively mature period, the design and manufacture of electric power equipment has formed a complete industrial chain, and has high technology Level. To carry out cooperation in power capacity can not only give full play to China's technological and financial advantages, but also boost ASEAN's technological and capital bottlenecks and promote economic growth.
Third, the two sides continue to strengthen the power standard docking. Luo Jing, a professor at School of Economics and Management of Guangxi Normal University, suggested that various forms of power standard exchange training be conducted between China and ASEAN countries as soon as possible so as to promote standard exchange and establish a standard of no gaps, no cross and no conflicts and eliminate technical barriers. Power Infrastructure Connectivity and Power Capacity Cooperation to provide technical support.
Fourthly, it will actively promote the interconnection of power grids between China and the ASEAN countries and regard it as an important part of the "ASEAN Interconnection Master Plan 2025" and the "Belt and Road Initiative". In the future, we can strengthen the research on interconnection strategic planning for transnational power grids, actively promote the achievement of research results, strengthen the construction of trans-boundary transmission routes in Southeast Asia and achieve the optimal allocation of energy resources in a larger scope.
Fifth, vigorously promote the efficient and sustainable development of renewable energy in the region. Kane Fujimoto, energy economy officer at UNESCAP, said ASEAN countries are rich in hydropower resources and have great potential for development and strong market demand. China has mature hydropower technology, equipment and construction capabilities, with low construction costs, high speed and high cost performance , To meet the needs of ASEAN power construction. Active development of hydropower resources, ASEAN countries can better play their resource advantages, to solve the energy bottlenecks facing. Li Qingkui suggested that ASEAN countries further improve hydropower development policies and laws and effectively help Chinese enterprises solve the difficulties they face in developing hydropower in ASEAN and enhance the enthusiasm of Chinese enterprises in investing in ASEAN hydropower projects.
Sixth, give full play to the role of enterprises. Xu Xiaodong, an expert at the Maritime Silk Road Research Institute of Guangxi Normal University, believes that in the process of the cooperation between China and ASEAN power enterprises, they should strictly abide by the market principles and international prevailing rules, adhere to the decisions made by enterprises themselves, carry out exchanges between enterprises and promote cooperation in major projects. China and ASEAN countries can provide policy support and guidance to the electric power enterprises of both sides in their cooperation.
