- As the global energy transition enters its second half, competition is shifting from capacity expansion to system-level efficiency gains. From the dual perspective of a global energy data researcher and industry enabler, this keynote examines the twin engines driving China's new energy industry — AI empowerment and global expansion. How will AIDC drive the restructuring of the power sector, and what investment opportunities lie in generation, grid, and storage? How is AI reshaping the valuation of new energy assets and the logic of power trading? How can the green power direct connection mechanism support industry players going overseas? And how Chinese new energy companies carve out differentiated pathways in global adaptation? Drawing on data-driven insights and real-world case studies, the presentation will chart the course of new energy's next chapter.

- For StarCharge, the significance of AI goes beyond efficiency gains—it is about embedding technology into the fabric of the industry and delivering tangible benefits to the public. Looking ahead, StarCharge will continue to balance technological innovation with user value, driving deeper integration of AI and new energy to make energy smarter, more reliable, and more inclusive, while taking China’s new energy technologies and digital energy capabilities to a broader global stage. StarCharge aspires to move from “visible AI” to “tangible value,” from energy resilience to energy equity, ensuring that the dividends of technology reach more people, and from local practices in China to global empowerment, enabling the sharing of energy capabilities across borders. Whether it's charging infrastructure, energy storage, microgrids, virtual power plants, or energy digitalization, StarCharge is bringing its accumulated products, technologies, and operational know-how to more countries and regions — drawing on over a decade of hands-on experience in the new energy sector to push the boundaries of AI–energy integration.
