‘Energy Regions in Transition’ (ERIT) is a wide-reaching and systematic regular exchange of energy-related best practices and experiences between different regions of the world. Up until this point, activities have focussed on Europe and the United States of America learning from each other. However, the Renewables Grid Initiative’s (RGI) recent trip to China in January of 2018 represents a new chapter, in terms of expanding the ERIT exchange to Asia.
Since we strongly believe that this mutual exchange is a fundamental contribution to improving the reliability of the electricity system, to reduce costs and limit environmental impacts, RGI has put a lot of effort into making this exchange a regular and sustainable one. The below report breaks down the most important points of what was discussed during the trip to China. It summarises the meetings in chronological order focussing on the input from the speakers on the Chinese side.
