[Policy Update] National Energy Administration Launches Pilot Program for “AI+” Energy Integration

📰 News Highlight

The General Office of the National Energy Administration (NEA) has released the Notice on Organizing and Launching the "AI+" Energy Pilot Program. This initiative seeks to accelerate the deep integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across the energy sector.

⚙️ Core Components

1. Collect high-value scenario needs from energy enterprises to reduce information gaps between technology suppliers and demand owners.

2. Mobilize AI technology providers to compete for and deliver solutions, ensuring optimal technologies address key industry challenges.

3. Use pilot co-creation projects to develop scalable, commercially replicable “AI + Energy” integrated solutions.

💡 Key Takeaways

1. The NEA’s shift to targeted, “small but excellent” pilots marks a move to a results-driven, application-focused phase of “AI + Energy.”

2. The structured Leaderboard Challenge serves as an efficient market mechanism, directing limited resources toward AI solutions for the industry’s most urgent pain points.

3. The three incentive mechanisms underscore the government’s commitment to rapidly scaling proven intelligent technologies to upgrade and modernize the entire energy system.

[Market Update] GLP Shanghai Xinxibei Logistics Park Becomes China's First Net-Zero Carbon Logistics Park

📰 News Highlight

Recently, the GLP Shanghai Xinxibei Logistics Park (Phase I) was awarded the "Excellent Level" Net-Zero Carbon Park Certification and the "Netz Net-Zero Carbon Park Selection Project" Award.
