On December 4, the 2025 Technical Exchange Meeting on Power Equipment Quality Improvement and High-Quality Development, hosted by the Power Equipment and Supply Chain Branch of the China Electricity Council, was successfully held in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that artificial intelligence (AI) is a crucial driving force behind the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and accelerating the development of a new generation of AI is a strategic issue that determines whether China can seize the opportunities presented by this new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation.

During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, guided by the “dual carbon” goals, China built the world’s largest renewable energy system and new energy industry chain.

From November 27 to 28, 2025, as one of the parallel sessions of the Annual Conference of the China Electrical Engineering Society, the 24th China Hydroelectric Equipment Academic Seminar was held in Chongqing.

The “15th Five-Year Plan” recommendations propose to “continuously increase the proportion of new energy supply” and “strive to build a new power system and construct an energy powerhouse.”

Building an energy powerhouse is a practical necessity for coordinating domestic and international efforts, balancing development and security, and advancing Chinese modernization.
