        "content": "<p>Chengdu, China (ANTARA) - Representatives from Indonesia and the\nPhilippines have discussed potential cooperation on smart energy\nsolutions with Chinese counterparts, aiming to tackle the unique power\ngrid challenges faced by archipelagic Southeast Asian nations. The\ndiscussions took place on the sidelines of a smart energy conference in\nChengdu, Sichuan Province, where industry players explored how digital\ntechnologies can enhance the utilisation of new energy sources and\nsupport regional power grid development. Kiwi Aliwarga, an Indonesian\nentrepreneur from the technology firm IdeaLLab, highlighted the natural\nobstacles Indonesia faces in building an integrated energy and\nelectricity network across its numerous islands. He noted that these\nchallenges have made energy digitalisation a key focus for the country\u2019s\nindustry players. \u201cWith the rapid development of digital technology\ntrends in Indonesia in recent years, the country has a significant need\nfor clean and stable energy supplies. We feel the technologies and\nsolutions showcased by Chinese companies offer new ideas for Indonesian\nindustry,\u201d Kiwi said. He engaged with potential partners at various\nexhibition booths, discussing smart energy platforms, energy storage\nsystems, and advanced energy management software, as well as their\npotential application in Indonesia. Kiwi expressed hope that his company\ncould establish cooperation with partners in China. Industry experts at\nthe conference observed that the relationship between energy systems and\nartificial intelligence has shifted from a model where AI empowers\nenergy to one of mutual empowerment. This shift is driven by the\nevolution of China\u2019s smart energy solutions from single innovations into\ncomprehensive chains covering electricity production, transmission,\ndistribution, and consumption, which have the potential to reduce\nelectricity costs while enhancing intelligence, digitalisation, and\nenergy efficiency. Echoing this sentiment, Brian James Lu from the\nAssociation for Philippines-China Understanding highlighted the future\npotential of smart energy technology. \u201cEnergy costs in the Philippines\nare relatively high within the ASEAN region, and many companies are\nactively exploring smarter and more sustainable solutions. This can help\nlower electricity costs and thereby improve corporate competitiveness,\u201d\nLu stated.<\/p>",
