[font size=4]Scope of MOU Covers Coordination on Research Projects[/font]

September 11, 2015

[font size=3]Representatives of the Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and China's State Grid Energy Research Institute today signed a first-ever memorandum of understanding between the two organizations.

The State Grid Energy Research Institute (SGERI), located in Beijing, is a subsidiary of China's national utility, State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC). China has announced plans to strengthen its national grid so that it can more effectively deliver electricity generated by both conventional and renewable methods.

The MOU was signed at NREL this morning, immediately after brief remarks were made by Dr. Dan Arvizu, director of NREL, and Liu Zhenya, chairman of SGCC.

"Clean energy isn't solely a concern of the United States," Arvizu said. "It's something that affects the entire planet, so it's important to have researchers in China and other countries addressing the problems of supplying power from renewable energy."
