On the date, at the Third "Belt and Road" Energy Ministerial Conference, the release of 10 "small but beautiful" best practices in international energy cooperation became one of the significant achievements of the conference.

Energy cooperation is a key area of the Belt and Road Initiative. Since its inception, the initiative has yielded abundant results in energy cooperation, constructing a large number of landmark energy projects and implementing numerous "small but beautiful" energy projects that benefit people's livelihoods, bringing tangible benefits to the countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative.

The recently released "small but beautiful" international energy cooperation project best practices cover five major categories: clean and low-carbon, intelligent innovation, livelihood improvement, soft power cooperation, and green finance. The specific list is as follows.

【Clean and Low-Carbon Category】 1. China Dongfang Electric Corporation, Nam Mang River Hydropower Station in Laos Actively aligns with Laos' strategy of "Building Southeast Asia's Battery" and "Transforming from a Landlocked Country to a Land-Linked Country," continuously achieving new results in the construction of the China-Laos Community with a Shared Future.

II. Jinko Energy Co., Ltd., Garissa Megawatt Photovoltaic Power Station Project, Kenya The project's grid-connected electricity price is significantly lower than the local residential electricity price, greatly reducing the electricity costs for local residents.

China Energy Engineering Corporation Limited, JA Solar Technology Co., Ltd., Sirindhorn Dam Integrated Floating Photovoltaic Project in Thailand The first integrated energy project in Thailand combining floating photovoltaic and hydropower, also a key demonstration project for the Thai government's promotion of "carbon neutrality."

Eight, Trinity Heavy Energy Co., Ltd., Alkarek Megawatt Wind Power Project in Kazakhstan. This project can annually provide approximately 100 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity, reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 200,000 tons, and meet the annual electricity needs of over 10,000 households.

IX. China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation, Uganda Integrated Intelligent Silent Drilling Rig Project Uganda Green Environmental Benchmark Project, awarded certificates of honor by the Ugandan government for "Corporate Social Responsibility" and "Technical Training".

【People's Livelihood Improvement Category】 10. China Southern Power Grid Co., Ltd., External Power Supply Project for the Laos Section of the China-Laos Railway. The project is praised as a model of the Laos Power Grid Construction-Operation-Transfer () project, as it powers the smooth operation of the China-Laos Railway with green and low-carbon electricity.

Eleven, State Power Investment Corporation Limited, Kiribati "Photovoltaic + Direct Drinking Water" Smart Energy Project: Using photovoltaic energy storage systems to drive air water collection, providing the local hospital with urgently needed clean drinking water, which has received high praise from the President of Kiribati.

Twelve, State Grid Corporation of China, Ethiopia Off-grid Solar Project Phase I: The first off-grid solar project in East Africa, making significant contributions to solving the problem of electricity shortage in remote areas for local governments and improving people's livelihoods.

Thirteen, China Datang Group Corporation, Phnom Penh-Battambang kV Transmission and Transformation Project: Responsible for the power supply of the capital and other core cities, the then Prime Minister praised Chinese enterprises for "building both the vehicle and the road for Cambodia's power development."

【Soft Power Cooperation Category】 XIV. China Electric Power Planning & Engineering Institute, Power System Planning Study in Uzbekistan Established the first overseas energy planning research institution in Uzbekistan—Silk Road Energy Planning Consulting Company, successfully completed the national power planning study in Uzbekistan with high quality, which was positioned by the Uzbek government as a national development strategy.

Fifteen, China National Nuclear Corporation, Talent Cultivation Project in Nuclear Energy Fields for Co-building Countries of the Belt and Road Initiative: Empowering the development of nuclear energy in co-building countries of the Belt and Road through talent cultivation, promoting the Chinese solution for nuclear energy development, and building a "circle of friends" for nuclear energy development.

XVI. PetroChina Company Limited, Geophysical Exploration Research Project in the Paraná Basin, Brazil Developing next-generation geophysical exploration technologies in Brazil to provide detailed "mapping" of strata, solving world-class challenges in igneous rock exploration, and aiding in the discovery of oil and gas reservoirs in Brazil.
