GEIDCO aims to realize global transmission interconnections to utilize more renewable energy.

Since its establishment in 2011, Renewable Energy Institute has been promoting “Asia Super Grid (ASG)” to utilize and exchange the vast renewable energy resources in Asian countries, such as wind and solar resources in Mongolia. “Global Energy Interconnection” is the global version of ASG concept, to accelerate international renewable energy use.

Power companies, universities and research institutes, global transmission companies from China, South Korea, Brazil, and Russia have joined GEIDCO.
