Internet + grid don't easily say reject new business model

Some people say that it is a "devil" that subverts the rules. Some people have to embrace it enthusiastically. It is the hot Internet "Internet Plus." It has radiated into many fields. This time, it is the power grid that faces a new round of revolution.

According to Sichuan Online on May 25th, as a participant in the Sichuan Provincial People's Government and Tencent's comprehensive cooperation project, the State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Company and Tencent Corporation signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Chengdu on the same day. Both parties will provide services for the “Internet + Grid” service. The application platform launched in-depth cooperation and formally implemented the "Internet + Power Grid" strategy.

According to the agreement, the strategy will be based on the "Internet Plus" solution, using the smart city of Tencent as a platform, and relying on the power intelligent service and brand building needs of the State Grid Sichuan Power, combined with Tencent's social networking, cloud computing, big data, etc. With leading advantages in the field, the two sides carry out comprehensive and in-depth strategic cooperation. According to the agreement, the two parties will conduct business cooperation in areas such as smart power, marketing services and brand building.

Of course, this cooperation has now been successfully "placed", but in the face of power this "cake" is more than Tencent natural, but other companies have lost the city. It is reported that many years ago the Industrial Bank had proposed to the Beijing Power Supply Bureau to purchase desensitized power data, but due to various reasons, the matter was aground after a year.

Therefore, the joint efforts of Tencent and Sichuan can be described as a deep test of the power grid. Once upon a time, the unemotional power was once in an “over-stable” development model, and its importance and authority have already established certain “rules of the game” to some extent. But the changes brought about by the "Internet Plus" will be exactly the opposite, especially in terms of breaking trade asymmetries, which is a huge advantage of "Internet +" itself.

Judging from past developments, “the lack of massive data and information” is a problem that many traditional energy companies have always faced. Although the State Grid Corporation of China has been actively developing smart grids in recent years, the Chinese smart grid is different from foreign concepts and is based on On the basis of “strong UHV,” more power generation and transmission, and power distribution have not achieved “intelligence”; and, more importantly, the new electricity reform program announced in March has clearly proposed to “distribute electricity. On the other hand, it opened up to the social capital, which opened up a policy gap for the "Internet +" stationed in the grid.

Of course, compared with other Internet companies, Tencent also has its own exclusive advantages, and its WeChat users have no activity and quantity. Therefore, when facing To C (customer), Tencent has inherent Advantage, while the grid terminal is for the To C industry. Judging from the current development situation, with the layout of WeChat in the areas of Internet + medical care, Internet + payment, etc., the original intention of establishing "connecting everything" at the time of its birth is being achieved step by step.

However, judging from the development trend of the Internet, it can break the asymmetry of information, reduce transaction costs, promote professional division of labor, and increase labor productivity. However, if Sichuan-Tencent cooperation can make full use of actual data based on the power grid, it can In-depth analysis can provide a large number of high-value-added services, which is the real entrance to the energy Internet under the background of the new electricity reform.

According to sources, the top Internet energy design will be submitted to the State Department in June. In the past two months, the National Energy Administration has organized four related preparatory symposiums. The top Internet energy design has been named "Internet + Smart Energy Action Plan." According to this assumption, the Internet + impact will no longer be just the electricity distribution business of the power grid, and it may even affect renewable energy, energy storage, and carbon trading.

Energy, an industry that has never been traditional, however, in 2015, opportunities are surging. In the new business model, don't just say no.
