Distinguished Under Secretary General Liu Zhenmin,Under Secretary General Shamshad Akhtar,
Ladies and gentlemen,
This preparatory meeting will review past achievements and lessons, and sharing experiences in order to create momentum for the upcoming United Nations High-level Political Forum. The meeting also aims to promote in-depth cooperation in line with the theme of the sustainable development of energy, which is of great significance to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Firstly, on behalf of the Global Energy Interconnection Development and Cooperation Organization (GEIDCO) and Chairman Liu Zhenya, I would like to congratulate the organizers of this meeting and express my sincere gratitude for the care and support of the UN DESA (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs), UN ESCAP, senior representatives from governments, industries and international agencies. Now, I would like to share with you all three perspectives on the development of Global Energy Interconnection (or GEI) in relation to the theme of today’s meeting.

Development. The Plan proposed Ten Actions of GEI to implement 17 SDGs of the 2030 Agenda, including concept promotion, clean development, universal power access, power grid interconnection, electricity replacement, smart grid, energy efficiency promotion, technology innovation, capacity building and policy support. The inclusion of GEI in the UN framework for the implementation of 2030 Agenda provides a systematic and practical solution to realizing SDGs, especially the realization of SDG7 on ensuring universal access to modern energy, increasing the share of renewable energy, improving energy efficiency and expanding infrastructure. Through building GEI, by 2030, 94% of the world population will have access to electricity; the number of people without access to electricity will be reduced from 1.06 billion to less than 500 million; the share of renewable energy in primary energy consumption will grow from 19% to 35%; the share of electricity in user-end energy consumption will be increased from 18.5% to more than 30%; the annual decrease of energy intensity in major industrial countries will be expanded by 1 to 2.5 percentage points; clean energy will replace nearly 6 billion tons of standard oil on an annual basis; and greenhouse gas emissions will be limited to within 40 billion tons. In this way, we can effectively address climate change.

Ladies and gentlemen, building GEI concerns not only the wellbeing of mankind, but also the sustainable development of the world. GEIDCO is willing to join hands with all sides in an effort to promote the inclusion of GEI in the agenda of the UN high-level political forum for common action and make greater contribution to the transition of global energy and implementation the “2030 Agenda”.
Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,
This preparatory meeting will review past achievements and lessons, and sharing experiences in order to create momentum for the upcoming United Nations High-level Political Forum. The meeting also aims to promote in-depth cooperation in line with the theme of the sustainable development of energy, which is of great significance to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Firstly, on behalf of the Global Energy Interconnection Development and Cooperation Organization (GEIDCO) and Chairman Liu Zhenya, I would like to congratulate the organizers of this meeting and express my sincere gratitude for the care and support of the UN DESA (United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs), UN ESCAP, senior representatives from governments, industries and international agencies. Now, I would like to share with you all three perspectives on the development of Global Energy Interconnection (or GEI) in relation to the theme of today’s meeting.

Development. The Plan proposed Ten Actions of GEI to implement 17 SDGs of the 2030 Agenda, including concept promotion, clean development, universal power access, power grid interconnection, electricity replacement, smart grid, energy efficiency promotion, technology innovation, capacity building and policy support. The inclusion of GEI in the UN framework for the implementation of 2030 Agenda provides a systematic and practical solution to realizing SDGs, especially the realization of SDG7 on ensuring universal access to modern energy, increasing the share of renewable energy, improving energy efficiency and expanding infrastructure. Through building GEI, by 2030, 94% of the world population will have access to electricity; the number of people without access to electricity will be reduced from 1.06 billion to less than 500 million; the share of renewable energy in primary energy consumption will grow from 19% to 35%; the share of electricity in user-end energy consumption will be increased from 18.5% to more than 30%; the annual decrease of energy intensity in major industrial countries will be expanded by 1 to 2.5 percentage points; clean energy will replace nearly 6 billion tons of standard oil on an annual basis; and greenhouse gas emissions will be limited to within 40 billion tons. In this way, we can effectively address climate change.

Ladies and gentlemen, building GEI concerns not only the wellbeing of mankind, but also the sustainable development of the world. GEIDCO is willing to join hands with all sides in an effort to promote the inclusion of GEI in the agenda of the UN high-level political forum for common action and make greater contribution to the transition of global energy and implementation the “2030 Agenda”.
Thank you.
