Since 2010, for the first time included in the government work report, smart grid construction for six consecutive years as the government work report regulars. The "One Belt One Road" and "Going Global" strategies mentioned in the 2015 report of the two governments on government work, the development of smart cities and the commencement of major power projects all indicate that the great development of smart grids is coming. Taking advantage of the "Dongfeng" that has made great progress in the construction of smart grids, industries such as power equipment manufacturing, IT and new materials will continue to heat up.

"Combine the construction of the" Belt and Road "with the regional development and opening up and strengthen the construction of the new Eurasian Continental Bridge and the landing points of land and sea ports." "Encourage enterprises to participate in overseas infrastructure construction and capacity-building and cooperation, and promote railways, electric power, telecommunications, construction machinery and China's equipment such as automobiles, aircraft and electronics go global ". The new pattern of opening up to the outside world in the government work report indicates that there is a vast space for the development of smart grid.

Power grid construction is one of the related industries driven by the strategies of "One Belt and One Road" and "Going Global". The construction of global energy Internet and UHV projects is the biggest bright spot in power grid construction. The global energy Internet is based on smart grid, UHV grid as the backbone network to transport clean energy-led, the global interconnection of a strong smart grid. The "Belt and Road" and "Going Global" strategies will provide a broader space for development of the global energy Internet.

"To vigorously develop wind power, photovoltaic power generation, biomass energy, actively develop hydropower and safely develop nuclear power", the current environmental pollution is worsening day by day, the pressure of energy conservation and emission reduction is great, and vigorously develop renewable energy power generation is a good solution to this dilemma, As a platform for the development, transportation and consumption of renewable energy, the smart grid can effectively connect large-scale energy bases and load centers so as to fully construct a safe, efficient and clean modern energy security system.

"Developing smart cities, protecting and passing on history and regional culture, strengthening urban water supply and power supply, public transportation and flood control and waterlogging prevention facilities". The smart grid is a part of the entire smart city's neural system and the core of the smart city. . Smarter cities and smart grids in the future need to be more extensively and technologically innovative and integrated.

"Starting implementation of a batch of new major projects such as information, power, oil and gas", the investment in the national grid in 2015 is expected to exceed 400 billion yuan, and there is a trend of continuous increase. The construction of smart grid shows a positive trend.

Smart grid is the inevitable trend of power grid technology development, is the inevitable choice for social and economic development. At present, the smart grid has become a key area competing in the development of various countries in the world, and the market has huge space. According to a report from Parker Research, the smart grid technology market will grow from 33 billion U.S. dollars in 2012 to 73 billion U.S. dollars in 2020, bringing the total market to 494 billion U.S. dollars.
