Ahead of the APEC summit, China Southern Power Grid took the lead in developing the "Recommended Solutions for Developing New-Type Power Systems Adapted to High Penetration of Variable Renewable Energy," one of the five host-economy voluntary contributions in the energy sector for the 2026 APEC "China Year."
Grounded in the realities of energy development across the APEC region, the recommended solutions set out a systematic framework of recommendations across three dimensions—technology, policy and cooperation. Focusing on key issues such as trends in renewable energy development, pathways for building new-type power systems, and coordinated regional energy development, they provide a flexible and scalable set of approaches to building new-type power systems that economies can draw on and combine as appropriate. The recommended solutions draw extensively on China's proven experience in integrating high levels of variable renewable energy into power systems, while taking into account differences among economies in their stages of development and resource endowments. They provide practical guidance for Asia-Pacific economies to advance their energy transitions in a steady and orderly manner and enhance the safe and stable operation of their power systems.
From a cooperation perspective, the solutions propose a cross-regional cooperation approach centered on "mutual learning, mutual benefit and connectivity."
