China is planning to build a $50 trillion Wind and solar power grid by 2050. The Plan includes linking this grid to the developing countries including Pakistan, China media reports. The project is names as The Global Energy Interconnection (GEI) and it was introduced last year by the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC). According to the World Economic forum estimate the project would not just connect the grids but it would have enough energy to run the world. Liu Zhenya, the SGCC chairman, presented this plan before ABB group and World Business Council in Switzerland last month. The system proposed by China will transcend national boundaries and will provide clean energy to all the countries in the world by connecting wind farms in the Arctic Circle with solar farms located on the Equator.

China in a few years’ time will be able to install the world’s largest waste-to-energy plant in Shenzhen. It is also taking some daring steps to provide energy to the disputed islands in South China Sea by providing them with energy through a fleet of floating Nuclear power plants

China is currently working on some other daring ideas to generate more clean energy. In a few years, Shenzhen will be home to the world’s largest waste-to-energy plant. Shortly after that, China hopes to be providing energy to its disputed islands in the South China Sea via a fleet of floating nuclear power plants.
