The power of interconnection; energy and electricity development cooperation platform with unlimited power.

On Sept 26, 2015, a discussion in establishing Global Energy Interconnection was proposed to facilitate efforts to meet global power demand with clean and green alternatives at the UN Sustainable Development Summit.

In order to better pool the wisdom and strengths of all interested parties to promote the establishment of a Global Energy Interconnection (GEI) system, the Global Energy Interconnection Development and Cooperation Organization (GEIDCO) has designed and developed platform named the Word of Energy Interconnection (WEI). The platform is the result of our year-long efforts, and reflects extensive analysis, and incorporates resources and research results which include planning research, predevelopment information and data, as well as our cooperation networks. The WEI platform was launched globally on March 23.2021.

Build an "Internet +" platform in the global energy interconnection arena

WEI is a diversified platform based on the energy area focusing on sustainable development integrating energy, climate, environment, and others which is built on big data, cloud computing, IoT, mobile Internet, AI, and other cutting-edge technologies.

Form a new GEI ecosystem characterized by integration, coordination, sharing, and win-win cooperation

WEI represents the world's first-ever digitalized platform dedicated to the advancement of international energy and electricity development cooperation. Based on the strengths of the “Internet plus", and targeting governments, international organizations, enterprises, financial institutions, and other parties, it strives to transform the current energy cooperation structure from an offline dominant model to one in which the online and offline are combined. Also, to expand the scope of energy cooperation from its current extent -specific to countries and regions to cover the world in its entirety. Thus, it will permit energy cooperation to transcend spatial limitations and occur across broader areas via more numerous channels with higher efficiency and lower cost. WEI's emergence will provide new impetus for the development of the platform economy in the energy and electricity fields. It will also promote technological innovation and industrial chain upgrading, expedite the reform of the global energy and electricity fields, create novel drivers of economic growth for countries worldwide, and shape a new landscape for green development.

Promote a new avenue for adjustment and optimization of industrial structure, and ensure unimpeded flows across the global economy

WEI covers various stages related to GEI from planning all the way through to investment and construction. It can therefore promote the need for match-making and resource sharing, and forming new relationships for the joint development of GEL. WEI offers new information-sharing channels. With the aid of advanced technologies such as big data, the mobile Internet, and AI, it provides up-to-date data, information, and research results on energy resources, technologies, markets, and other sectors. Thus, helping countries and regions across national boundaries, enhancing policy and planning alignment, and creating favorable conditions for the development of GEl. WEI is also exploring new ways to initiate and implement projects. With a tight focus on clean energy development, power grid interconnection, and electricity replacement, it offers a wide range of services including benefit evaluation, investment and financing, technical consultation, and publicity and promotion. In addition to that, it fosters in helping projects discover technologies funding, and helping investors find high-quality projects, accelerating the deployment of GEI worldwide.

Establish a global energy and electricity development cooperation ecosystem

By the end of June 2022, WEI has gathered 347 clean energy development and power grid interconnection projects, 116 key country information, 1302 members, 1.5 million pieces of information, 23 billion index data, and more than 50 published research reports. The registered users have covered more than 80 countries and regions around the world with a cumulative number of visits of more than 500,000 times. The WEI platform has preliminarily established a GEI development and cooperation ecosystem and effectively promoted the implementation of GEl.
