Xu Yuchang:
Today, it is my great honor to be here with global experts on green energy development, government officials committed to new energy to take the road of high-quality and sustainable development, and friends concerned about green energy and high-quality development to discuss about green energy development.
Developing green energy on basis of China’s status quo is an important strategy for China to improve its energy structure, ensure energy security and promote the construction of ecological civilization. Meanwhile, it has become a worldwide consensus to promote sustainable development by means of green energy. Especially in energy cooperation, a key area of the Belt and Road construction, countries attach more and more importance to green and low-carbon economy and prioritize the development and utilization of clean energy.
Under the general trend of global green energy development and in the background of Yangzhong’s "ecological city" "empowered" by new energy, China Economic Information Service of Xinhua News Agency has worked closely with Yangzhong government in recent years to launch a grand event for the green energy industry and promote the development of the industry. After the First International Green Energy Development Conference was successfully held in 2017, China Economic Information Service of Xinhua News Agency and Yangzhong once again joined hands to hold the Second International Green Energy Development Conference this year based on the deepened cooperation and the establishment of a strategic cooperation relationship. During the conference, China Economic Information Service will issue the the Global Green Energy Application Development Report and a Report on Belt and Road Green Energy Investment Environment.
Yang Qi Host
Xu Yuchang:
Facing the future, China Economic Information Service will give full play to its advantages in the following three aspects to further promote the application and development of green energy.
First, reduce information asymmetry and help green energy enterprises avoid risks in international cooperation by making full use of information collection and international market research of Xinhua Silk Road, a national information service platform for the Belt and Road under the China Economic Information Service, as well as the energy industry research team of Xinhua News Agency, a national high end think tank, to contribute to the steady progress of Chinese green energy enterprises in overseas markets.
Second, facilitate information sharing and forge ahead the wide spread of the green energy cooperation along the Belt and Road. In June this year, we jointly launched the Belt and Road Economic Information Partnership (BREIP) with over 30 news agencies, business associations and information institutions around the world. With the ecological advantages of BREIP, we will transmit information concerning the Belt and Road and green energy to professional institutions and users in a more convenient, effective and accurate way, which encourages international resources matching and cooperation in green energy projects.
Third, promote information dissemination, advocate sustainable development and green concept, and build a green silk road. We have expanding "circles of friends" at home and abroad in economic information that are all over the world and among the political, academic, business and research fields. With the help of these friends, we will effectively spread the concept of green development, build a bridge of communication between China and the world, reach consensus on sustainable development, and create a community with a shared future in green energy development.
Yang Qi Host

Among green clean energy, photovoltaic power generation is playing an increasingly important role in the new round of energy transformation due to its clean, safe and abundant resources.
In the five years since 2013, the total new photovoltaic power generation installations worldwide has increased by 1.8 times, with the cumulative installed capacity increasing from about 140GW to 500GW, which is 3.5 times that of five years ago. Since the end of 2013, the average initial investment cost of photovoltaic power generation projects has dropped by more than 55 percent.
Yang Qi Host
Wang Bohua:
In China, the photovoltaic industry has made great progress in the past 13 years since the Renewable Energy Act came into effect. Over the past 13 years, China's global share of polycrystalline silicon production has risen from 0.3 percent to 58.1 percent; China’s share of world’s photovoltaic cell module production increased from 11 percent to 72.8 percent, ranking first in the world for 12 consecutive years; China’s share of world’s new photovoltaic installations increased from 0.36 percent to more than 40 percent, ranking first for 6 consecutive years; China’s share of world’s accumulated photovoltaic installed capacity increased from 1.35 percent to over 30 percent, ranking first for 4 consecutive years.
China has made indelible contributions in effectively promoting global photovoltaic power generation technology innovation and rapid cost reduction, and has achieved remarkable results.
Yang Qi Host
Wang Bohua:
In the first half of 2019, the global photovoltaic market maintained a stable development trend, with a steady growth in industrial scale and a global installed capacity of over 47GW.Driven by the overseas market, China's major photovoltaic product manufacturers still saw the production and sales increasing in the first three quarters of 2019. From January to August of 2019, China's poly-silicon production reached 214,000 tons and the component production about 63GW. Of these, the export volume of components stood at about 47GW, accounting for about 75 percent of the total production.
Looking ahead, it is expected that green energy will play a bigger role in energy transformation through its integrated and complementary development and efficient and intelligent use. As one of the main clean energy, photovoltaic power generation should develop in coordination with other forms of energy, which is also the direction that we in the industry should actively explore and work together towards in the next step.

As Chinese people have just celebrated the 70th anniversary of the People's Republic of China, I believe the hosting of the Second International Conference on Green Energy Development is of special significance.
Since the initiation of reform and opening up, China has witnessed rapid development of renewables dominated by solar and wind power, scoring remarkable achievements. As shown in last year's report of International Renewable Energy Agency, during 2008-2018, China's wind power generation grew 22 folds, and its PV power generation increased nearly 700 folds. During the same period, global PV power generation only grew 33 folds. PV industry represents another shining name card of Chinese people shown to the world. According to data of relevant authoritative institutions, China has topped the world for six consecutive years in terms of newly installed PV capacity, and ranked first for four consecutive years in terms of accumulated installed capacity.
Yang Qi Host
Xu Dingming:
China's PV enterprises have made indelible contributions to global PV industry innovation and cost reduction.
We can envision a future with diversified energy resources, localized energy sources, intelligent energy technology, digital energy life, decentralized energy production, shared energy network, efficient energy utilization, convenient energy use, universal energy services, and low-carbon energy economy.
To develop energy in the future, first, we should push for energy revolution in all aspects; second, we should take proactive measures to scrap the use of coal; third, we should be active in transcending the age of oil and gas; fourth, we should embrace a future of zero emission; fifth, we should work to realize the in-depth integration of industrialization and informatization.
Digitization is empowering the ongoing energy revolution and will serve as the most fundamental tool and capacity for any enterprises to stay viable.
We cannot go without private enterprises to advance China's energy revolution, let alone to develop China's renewables.
Private enterprises are the pioneer, entrepreneurs, innovators, leaders and backbone of China's renewables field.
China's economy has shifted from fast growth to quality development. As such, China has entered a new stage of quality development.
PV industry should value quality as how we value life.

In the process of constructing renewable energy demonstration cities in China, the following two development routes should be followed:
First, we should actively promote the comprehensive utilization of various new energies such as solar energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy and wind energy. Overall plans for energy demand such as electric heating and cooling should be made to give full play to the role of new energies in electricity generation and heat supply, and promote new energies to replace traditional energies.
Second, we should combine the strategic opportunities of new urbanization, power system reform, industrial structure upgrading and "Internet plus", so as to explore innovative development mechanisms for green electricity trading, comprehensive energy services and energy Internet.
Yang Qi Host
Shi Yubo:
There are several suggestions on building an integrated energy system and cities with high proportion of renewable energy
First, a regional integrated energy system should be constructed starting from energy consumption terminals.
Second, integrated energy systems should be built based on development of distributed energy, energy storage technology and smart microgrid.
Third, cooperation with universities and scientific research institutions should be strengthened.
