China Southern Power Grid (CSG) has outlined its mission to foster shared prosperity across the Asia-Pacific through enhanced energy connectivity and clean energy integration. The company highlighted its technological leadership in the Greater Bay Area and its cross-border energy initiatives.

  • CSG managed electricity consumption exceeding 700 TWh in the Greater Bay Area.
  • 17 high-voltage transmission links established with Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar.
  • Proprietary AI model 'Big Watt • Yudian' awarded at the World AI Conference.
  • Over 90% of cross-border electricity exchanged in the Lancang-Mekong region is clean energy.

At the Asia-Pacific Media Forum held in Shenzhen, Qian Chaoyang, Chairman and Party Secretary of China Southern Power Grid Co., Ltd. (CSG), emphasized that clean, low-carbon, and efficient energy is the essential engine for the Asia-Pacific's economic growth. Given the region's significant share of global energy consumption, CSG is positioning itself as a vital force in advancing regional energy connectivity.

Technological Excellence in the Greater Bay Area

CSG has demonstrated remarkable progress within the Greater Bay Area, where total electricity consumption has surpassed 700 TWh, outperforming other major global bay areas. The grid's reliability is world-class, with an average annual outage time of less than 30 minutes per customer. Furthermore, through the West-to-East Electricity Transmission project, approximately 180 billion kWh of clean electricity is transmitted annually, with renewable capacity exceeding 93 GW.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that as the Asia-Pacific region seeks to balance rapid industrialization with climate goals, the integration of flexible ultra-high-voltage direct-current (UHVDC) transmission and AI-driven management becomes critical. CSG's ability to stabilize massive loads while transitioning to renewables sets a global benchmark for energy infrastructure.

Energy connectivity is not merely about moving electrons; it is the foundational infrastructure for regional economic integration and stability.

Innovation remains at the core of CSG's strategy. The company's proprietary power-sector foundation model, 'Big Watt • Yudian', recently received top honors at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, showcasing the shift toward smarter, autonomous power systems.

Strengthening Regional Ties and Global Reach

Beyond domestic borders, CSG is actively building an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future. The company has successfully established 17 high-voltage power transmission links with Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar. In the Lancang-Mekong region, CSG is exploring a regional electricity market, having already facilitated the exchange of over 84 TWh of electricity, of which more than 90% is clean energy.

CSG's international footprint is further evidenced by Pluz Energía Perú, which leads its local market in reliability. In Laos, partnership-led demonstration zones have seen a 70% reduction in power outages. Through the Global South Power Partnership Development Forum, CSG has signed over 50 agreements and trained nearly 2,000 energy professionals from partner nations.

Did You Know?: CSG's renewable energy integration ensures that more than half of its total installed capacity comes from clean sources.
