Based on China Power Group’s experience in energy transition and green international cooperation, Jiang Dongqiang shared three points:
First, nuclear energy, as a stable and zero-carbon energy source, has outstanding strategic value in energy security and carbon reduction. Since its commissioning, the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant has delivered more than 320 billion kilowatt-hours of zero-carbon electricity to Hong Kong. Expanding nuclear power transmission to Hong Kong will provide stronger support for the green transformation of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
Second, promoting the development of renewable energy in accordance with local conditions is a key path for transnational cooperation, and regional energy security can be effectively enhanced through cross-border energy interconnection.
Third, addressing climate change requires translating carbon reduction targets into actionable pathways for businesses.
Looking to the future, Jiang Dongqiang offered three suggestions: First, deepen green energy cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative, focusing on emerging markets in Southeast Asia to help relevant countries build clean and low-carbon energy systems; second, leverage Hong Kong’s advantages as a “super-connector” and “super-value-added agent” to link capital with the mainland’s industrial chain and create an international green finance hub; and third, adhere to mutual benefit and win-win cooperation and open collaboration to jointly build a fair, inclusive, and resilient global energy governance system.
