Yang Kun, Executive Vice Chairman of China Electricity Council: The ultimate end of computing power is electricity, and the ultimate end of electricity is energy strategy.

The China Electricity Council stated that the expansion of computing power is giving rise to the new concept of "power-computing synergy," and the power industry needs to accelerate its layout to address the challenges brought by the high energy consumption of computing power. It is estimated that by 2026, the national electricity consumption will reach 10.9 trillion to 11 trillion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of 5% to 6%. The newly added installed capacity for power generation will exceed 400 million kilowatts, with new energy generation capacity exceeding 300 million kilowatts. In the future, new types of loads such as data centers will change the traditional electricity consumption curve and widen the gap in system loads. The power industry needs to deepen the application of artificial intelligence and promote the coordinated development of green electricity and computing power.
