Mu explained that his district in Beijing’s northwest suburbs has an abundance of renewable energy resources and expects to build two demonstration zones, one for a smart grid the other for a new energy micro-grid, making optimal use of the regional energy network as a demonstration for the energy Internet.
The alliance is a response to President Xi Jinping’s call back in June 2014 for a three-point approach to energy development, where he emphasizing that the country needs “a revolution in energy technology together with related industries as a new driving force”, by providing a one-stop industrial technology service site with new theories, demonstration zones and industrial investment.
