Premier Li Qiang pushes AI-powered, next-gen energy system amid global shocks
As global supply volatility intensifies, Premier Li Qiang has called for faster development of a “new-type power system” to accelerate the green transition and expand the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the sector.

As global supply volatility intensifies, Premier Li Qiang has called for faster development of a “new-type power system” to accelerate the green transition and expand the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the sector.
During a three-day visit to the southwestern province of Sichuan, Li stressed the need to expand green electricity supply and optimise the energy mix to bolster security and support economic growth.
He urged market players to explore new grid architectures, improve system-wide coordination and regulation, and build a safer, low-carbon, flexible and intelligent power system, state-run news agency Xinhua reported on Wednesday, the final day of Li’s trip.
“The construction of a new-type power grid is of great significance for ensuring energy security and promoting green development,” he said.
China leads the world in renewable energy capacity, but has long struggled to smooth out the distribution of new energy resources with electricity demand. Constraints in transmission and dispatch systems have further limited the efficient use of renewable power.
To address these issues, Beijing has pushed to develop a modern power system centred on renewables in recent years, using digital and smart technologies to allocate electricity more flexibly – a step also seen as critical to achieving its carbon neutrality goal by 2060.

California cements its role as the national testing ground for AI rules
To see where tech policy is going in the U.S., look west: California is escalating its push to regulate AI across multiple fronts. Why it matters: California's multi-pronged approach makes it likely that AI companies in the U.S. will treat the state's rules as a de facto national standard, even as the White House moves to rein in state regulation. It follows a familiar pattern: California acts first, companies adapt to keep doing business there and Congress dithers, eventually ceding its role to states due to gridlock. Driving the news: Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an AI executive order this week as state legislators advance a number of AI bills and consider other regulatory avenues for AI. The big picture: California is moving ahead as the Trump administration pushes for a national AI standar
