Abstract
As the Belt and Road initiative develops in depth and breadth, substantial achievements have been scored in multiple fields, such as infrastructure, trade and investment, and green finance. Power and energy are important areas for the Belt and Road international cooperation. To better understand the importance of international energy and power cooperation, this study elaborates the resource superiority of the Belt and Road countries for clean energy development from the aspects of environment and cost, and analyzes the potential of power connectivity among these countries. This study also analyzes the supporting role of technological revolution in power connectivity, in terms of thinking innovation, mode reform, technological innovation, and benefit sharing. Research shows that the energy and power demand of the Belt and Road countries is increasing rapidly, and the widely-distributed and advantageous clean energy resources of these countries have made power connectively possible. In the international energy and power cooperation, comparative advantages of all countries should be given full play, and key technology innovation in fields such as renewable energy, power grid, and information, should be adopted to support the power connectivity.
