Cross-Border Power Trade

Asia Pacific cross-border power trade scale continues to expand. China-ASEAN power interconnection projects are steadily advancing, with clean power from Laos, Myanmar and other countries exported to neighboring countries through cross-border transmission lines.

Electricity Pricing Mechanism Optimization

Electricity pricing mechanisms in various countries continue to optimize, with peak-valley price spreads widening and demand response mechanisms gradually improving. Power market price signals effectively guide power generation investment and consumer electricity usage behavior.
