The company shared its innovative initiatives, including the creation of the first market-oriented carbon credit service system in China, which supports enterprises' green transformation and development.
In recent years, based on the green transformation needs of the Suzhou Industrial Park, State Grid Suzhou Power Supply Company has built China's first 20 kV distribution network, creating a world-class smart distribution network. The core area boasts a power supply reliability rate of 99.999 percent, with an average annual power outage time of less than 5 minutes. 100 percent of new energy sources are locally utilized, making sustainable energy the foundation of the park's high-quality development. Simultaneously, the company actively implements the unified deployment of State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power's "Electric Warm Current" brand, expanding energy efficiency and carbon efficiency service models, launching the "Energy Efficiency Steward" service, and pioneering the construction of a virtual power plant management platform for the park, helping multinational companies align with international green standards. To enable SMEs to contribute their carbon reduction value globally, the company has built China's first market-oriented carbon credit service system. As another concrete example of State Grid Corporation of China's commitment to green development, the company has partnered with authoritative international organizations such as the British Standards Institution and SGS to actively promote international cooperation and mutual recognition of standards. Currently, this system has been included in the "Major Cooperation Project between Jiangsu Province and Singapore," issuing 500,000 tons of carbon emission reductions and completing transactions totalling 190,000 tons, providing a valuable "Chinese solution" for advancing climate action.
"Green is the defining characteristic of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, and energy interconnection is the core link in low-carbon transformation. In the future, we are willing to deepen green cooperation with partners along the Belt and Road, jointly address climate challenges, and promote energy transformation, making new and greater contributions to building a clean and beautiful world and promoting global sustainable development," said Deputy General Manager of State Grid Suzhou Power Supply Company Jiang Dehong.
