"Building a New Power System Based on New Energy for Clean Energy Transition"
We are honoured to have Mr. XIN Baoan, the Executive Chairman of the State Grid Corporation of China as the keynote speaker of the Opening Ceremony of the Virtual Centennial Session on August 20, 2021.
Mr. Xin Baoan will share three observations on building power systems based on new energy for clean energy transition .
First, power systems around the globe are undergoing profound changes like never before, towards decarbonization, digitalization and resilience.
Second, new power systems must be built for the clean and low-carbon transition. With new features emerging from supply and demand sides, from the grid and the whole system as well, such building process is an enduring systemic task.
Third, power utilities are to perform the major task of building new power systems. State Grid Corporation of China is committed to being a leader, a facilitator and a pioneer in the clean transition.

CIGRE is a great platform for learning new techniques, networking and enhancing the technical expertise required to carry out our projects
Delegate, Ivory Coast
CIGRE is unique in the number of people and the number of countries that are represented. We have over 90 countries. In Study Committee B3 we have 40 countries represented, and about 350 experts and there’s no other organisation, no other conference that hits that diversity

The CIGRE Session is a fantastic opportunity that gathers researchers, experts and many other profiles on all levels but also business managers from around the world connecting and discussing the challenges of the future energy grid
