The GEI backbone grid, composed of strategic channels for grid interconnection of different continents and countries, provides the infrastructure foundation for large-scale exploitation, global allocation, complementary and efficient utilization of various clean energy resources. The GEI backbone grid, composed of strategic channels for grid interconnection of different continents and countries, provides the infrastructure foundation for large-scale exploitation, global allocation, complementary and efficient utilization of various clean energy resources. A fundamental solution is to promote energy transition toward cleanness, electrification and networking, to facilitate the “Two Replacements, One Increase and One Restore”, to build Global Energy Interconnection (GEI) which is clean energy-dominated, electricity-centered, interconnected and shared. In the cause of building GEI, the overall plan is to adhere to a path of green, low-carbon and sustainable development with "Two Replacements" as orientation, accelerate construction of trans-national and intercontinental backbone grids based on cutting-edge technologies like UHV and smart grid. + ultra high voltage grid + clean energy. ' Its aims are to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy in electricity generation, and to replace fossil fuels ith clean electricity for energy consumption. It embodies high-level integration of the flow of energy, flow of information and flow of business as an intelligent, automated and networked-based system for. Grids have formed the backbone of electricity systems for more than a century, delivering power to homes, factories, offices and hospitals. And their importance is only growing.
