The "Accelerating Energy Transition, Contributing to Climate Action" case collection, jointly prepared by State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Company and China Sustainability, was officially released during a side event at the COP29 China Pavilion in Baku, Azerbaijan. The collection showcases ten innovative solutions to energy transition from  State Grid Jiangsu, offering a "Jiangsu Model" for global low-carbon energy transformation.

Jiangsu's Pioneering Role in Energy Transition

As Jiangsu Province's largest state-owned enterprise and the biggest provincial grid operator under State Grid Corporation of China, State Grid Jiangsu has been at the forefront of building a new-type power system to support China's 30·60 decarbonization goals (to peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060).

The selected cases, drawn from GoldenKey SDG Solutions (2020-2024) and GoldenKey · SGCC Special(2022-2023) and
cover multiple domains:
✔ New energy system development
✔ new-type power grid infrastructure
✔ Industrial decarbonization
✔ Rural energy revolution
✔ Demand-side energy efficiency
Key Achievements Highlighted
Energy Security: Optimized dispatching mechanisms for traditional power generation, ensuring reliable supply across scenarios.
Green Transition: Increased non-fossil energy consumption to 38% of Jiangsu's mix (2024), leveraging provincial resources to build a new-type power system.

Tech Innovation: Integrated digital technologies (AI, IoT) with grid management, reducing system losses by 15%.

Global Significance
The collection systematically documents State Grid Jiangsu's progress while demonstrating Chinese power companies' climate leadership. Notable projects include:
Exploring the Path to Low-Carbon Development in the Cement Industry
"River-water Air Conditioning System":Addressing the Challenges in Energy-Saving and Cost-Reduction for Buildings in Riverfront Cities
Innovation in Carbon Footprint Management to Enable Traceability of the "Green content"in Enterprise Production
"Decarbonizing" Beautiful Countryside to Boost the High-quality Development of Circular Agriculture
Shore Power for Inland Terminals: Bringing Clean Energy to the “Capillaries” of Wuxi's Waterways
Creating e-Park to Explore a Multi-Party Win-Win Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G )Operating Model
The Path to Ensure Safe and Orderly Photovoltaic Grid Connection in Rural Areas
Turning Disorder into Order to Build a Friendly Interaction Ecosystem between the Microgrid and the Large Power Grid
Creating a New Model of Carbon Management in Scenic Areas

Smart Microgrids Enable Green and Low-Carbon Energy Transition on lslands

The release of this collection not only systematically summarizes the sustainability achievements of State Grid Jiangsu, but also showcases the proactive actions of Chinese power enterprises in climate actions and energy transformation to the international community. By sharing these "Chinese solutions" and "Chinese stories", State Grid Jiangsu has made significant contributions to the international community's understanding of China's energy enterprises' climate actions.
