The Internet of Energy Conference China and Smart Energy Industry Expo 2015 will be held from Oct. 16 to 18 in Hangzhou, announced Wang Zhongmin, director of the China Strategic Alliance of Smart Energy Industrial Technology Innovation at a press conference held in Beijing on Tuesday.
As China's first and only expo focused on the Internet of energy and the smart energy industry, Smart Energy China 2015 aims to lead the development of the smart energy industry by pioneering new technologies, developing new products and new applications for smart energy and promoting the construction of an energy Internet that will meet the goals of China's Internet Plus strategy, Wang said.
The State Council, China's cabinet, recently issued guidelines on the Internet Plus campaign that pinpointed key fields for the integrated development of the Internet and traditional industries. Smart energy is third among the ten key fields listed.
"China's study of climate change has fallen behind that of developed countries for about 20 years. I do not want to see another 20 years spent on research and technological innovation in smart energy, " Wang added.
New focus on smart energy, which integrates the energy saving sector and the information technology sector, is not only a trend in energy systems development but is also key to modern energy system operation and management, said Miao Ren, associated research professor with the Energy Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission.
The three-day event will be held at the Zhejiang World Trade International Exhibition Center. It has already attracted more than 80 speakers and more than 300 participants from the fields of energy conservation, emissions reduction, low-carbon economy, the Internet and communications technologies, said Heiko Stutzinger, deputy general manager of Messe Düsseldorf (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., the co-organizer of the event.
Famous experts and business leaders such as Robert P. Taylor, former energy sector leader of the World Bank and Ma Yun, founder of Alibaba Group, are expected to deliver speeches at the event, Stutzinger added.
Following the press conference, Intel China and four other companies signed agreements to participate in the expo as exhibitors.
