In his address, Zhu Hongren highlighted that the Electric Power Enterprise Management Innovation Paper Competition has been held for twelve consecutive years, significantly contributing to the summarization, exchange, and promotion of management innovation achievements in the power industry. He emphasized that the Management Innovation Experience Exchange Conference has established a platform for communication and mutual learning, substantially advancing management innovation capabilities among power enterprises.
Zhu further proposed guidance on empowering development through new quality productive forces to achieve high-quality growth in the sector, stressing three key imperatives: accurately grasping the strategic direction for developing new quality productive forces to advance high-quality development; precisely comprehending the essential connotation of new quality productive forces to drive high-quality development; and correctly understanding the practical pathways for realizing new quality productive forces to implement high-quality development.
Xu Kemin addressed the conference theme by outlining four expectations for power enterprises: intensifying technological innovation capabilities to foster new momentum for new quality productive forces; accelerating digital-intelligent transformation to build foundational support for new quality productive forces; establishing green industrial ecosystems to shape new structures for new quality productive forces; and strengthening enterprise management innovation to consolidate developmental foundations for new quality productive forces.
Yang Hongyan observed that the power sector demonstrates exceptional enthusiasm, robust organizational mobilization, and prolific achievements in management innovation compared to other industries. Over the years, it has generated numerous highly creative and widely applicable management innovations, significantly elevating participation in such initiatives across Tianjin's enterprises.
Liu Peng affirmed that the 12th Electric Power Enterprise Management Innovation Exchange Conference provides a valuable platform.

Academician Yu Yixin of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Pei Jiansuo (Associate Dean of the School of Applied Economics, Renmin University of China), and Yu Yong (Chief AI Expert of Huawei's Computing Platform Pioneer Team) subsequently delivered keynote speeches. Representatives from the State Grid Corporation of China, China Huadian Corporation, and China Energy Investment Corporation delivered thematic presentations during the conference.
Yu Yixin focused on "the necessity and pathways to building an energy internet centered on smart grids under the 'Dual Carbon' goals." He stressed that fully leveraging flexible loads is the most powerful driving force for smart grids; smart grids embody all the characteristics of the new power system and represent the inevitable direction of grid development; smart grids feature a hierarchical and clustered architecture and a laminar flow communication network; China should currently accelerate the construction of distributed smart grids (smart distribution grids).
Pei Jiansuo proposed ten measures for how the energy sector can promote new quality productive forces: modernizing traditional energy infrastructure, upgrading traditional energy industries, developing traditional energy with low carbonization, digitalizing traditional energy, modernizing traditional energy services, establishing a new mechanism for tackling core technological challenges, leveraging the advantages of the domestic ultra-large-scale market, utilizing China's systemic competitiveness from a complete industrial portfolio, opening up new tracks and fields, and establishing global competition strategies.
Yu Yong stated that in the current era of booming artificial intelligence, AI is beginning to penetrate the core production systems of enterprises, accelerating the intelligent upgrade of industries. He then introduced applications of AI large models in scenarios such as energy supply-demand forecasting and smart microgrids.
