Background

From September 8 to 10, 2025, the Global Energy Interconnection Development and Cooperation Organization (GEIDCO) co-hosted the 7th Global Energy Interconnection Conference with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), the Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE), and other institutions. The conference brought together nearly a thousand participants from over 100 countries worldwide.


The conference featured one plenary session, 24 parallel forums, and one achievement exhibition. During the event, GEIDCO released multiple research outcomes, including the Global Power Development and Transformation Report 2025, Global Energy Interconnection Development and Outlook 2025, and Green Energy Development for Modernizing the Global South. Additionally, GEIDCO unveiled the Global Energy Interconnection Demonstration Project Directory and a new set of international standards for global energy interconnection technologies.


To better share these outcomes globally and promote their application across regions, GEIDCO has recently launched a series of regional promotional and training activities on the outcomes of the 2025 Global Energy Interconnection Conference. This Southeast Asia-South Asia regional session is organized by the GEIDCO Southeast Asia-South Asia Office and the GEIDCO Indonesia Committee, among others.

Course 1
Global Energy Interconnection Development and Outlook 2025 This report adopts a global perspective and, based on in-depth analyses of energy interconnection across continents, systematically plans the overall development of global energy interconnection. It covers the fundamental status of global socio-economic and energy-electricity development, analyzing the challenges to sustainable development worldwide. The report elucidates the vision and significance of global energy interconnection, examines trends in global energy and power transition, and presents scenario-based forecasts. It studies the distribution, development, and layout of large-scale clean energy bases based on clean energy resource assessments. Through power balance analysis, the report proposes an overall framework and grid interconnection schemes for global power networks. Additionally, it identifies key technologies impacting the development of global energy interconnection and evaluates the comprehensive benefits of building a global energy interconnection system.

Course 2
Global Power Development and Transition Report (2025) Based on extensive collection and analysis of global power development data, industry trends, and technological advancements, this report centers on the dual themes of development and transition. It establishes a comprehensive database covering all segments of the global power system—generation, grid, load, and storage—as well as the full spectrum of electricity production, losses, and consumption. Through four vertical dimensions (power supply and demand) and four horizontal dimensions (technology, investment, market/electricity pricing, and international cooperation), the report presents a holistic overview of the global power industry in 2024. It systematically analyzes the characteristics of global power development and leverages professional expertise and systemic research to investigate current key issues, offering insights and forward-looking assessments on the trajectory of global power development.

Course 3
Green Energy Development for Modernizing the Global South This report is grounded in the core principles of the Global Development Initiative and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Adhering to the tenets of green and low-carbon development, economic efficiency, inclusivity, and open cooperation, it advocates for countries to explore development pathways tailored to their national conditions. The report innovatively proposes the "ABC" model for green energy development in Global South countries and summarizes actionable, replicable, and scalable localized solutions. Highlighting the extraordinary ambition, concrete actions, and comprehensive benefits demonstrated by Global South nations, the report serves as a valuable reference for stakeholders to advance green energy transitions and sustainable economic development in line with their specific contexts.

Introduction to Global Energy Interconnection Standards The international standards for Global Energy Interconnection integrate the technological achievements and innovative practices in the energy and power sectors from China and other relevant countries. In the process of organizing and developing these standards, the cooperation organization has established a three-tier organizational structure—"Standards Management Committee – Technical Committee – Working Group"—in accordance with international practices. A Standards Office has also been set up to coordinate daily operations. Furthermore, the Guidelines for Global Energy Interconnection Standards Development have been publicly released, outlining the complete standards development workflow, from proposal submission and draft preparation to review, voting, approval, and publication. At key stages, international experts and multinational enterprises are encouraged to actively participate in all aspects of the standards development process.

Introduction to the Global Energy Interconnection Demonstration Project Directory The Global Energy Interconnection Demonstration Project Directory 2025 was officially released by the Global Energy Interconnection Development and Cooperation Organization (GEIDCO) during the 2025 Global Energy Interconnection Conference, held from September 8 to 10. Selected from 286 submissions across 57 countries, the directory features 40 benchmark examples. These include the "Top Ten Pioneering Projects" and 30 typical demonstration projects. The selected projects span multiple sectors such as power grids, power generation, load management, energy storage, and integrated energy systems. They are characterized by their advanced technology, significant comprehensive benefits, and strong exemplary value.

Course 6
Energy Transition for Biodiversity Conservation Directory During the 16th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 16) to the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Energy Interconnection Development and Cooperation Organization (GEIDCO) released the "Energy Transition for Biodiversity Conservation Directory." This directory features 10 representative projects from six countries: China, Singapore, Chile, Sweden, Italy, and Ethiopia. Through innovative practices, these projects demonstrate synergies between energy development and biodiversity conservation.
