C3 Energy Joins Presidential Trade Mission in China to Accelerate Application of Innovative Energy Technologies


C3 Energy joined 25 leading American companies in the first Presidential Trade Mission to the People's Republic of China under the Obama Administration. The trade mission focused on Smart Cities-Smart Growth and visited Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou from April 12 - 17, 2015.

C3 (News - Alert) Energy Executive Vice President Jim Connaughton met with energy company executives, senior government officials, and energy technology and policy leaders during the weeklong mission to explore how next-generation technologies can encourage smart grid innovation throughout China.

"China will continue to have tremendous energy needs as the country urbanizes and grows its middle class, and American companies like C3 Energy have the expertise necessary to serve as partners in building clean and efficient infrastructure," said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Peny Pritzker, who led the mission with U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz.



"Utilities can now take advantage of recent developments in advanced technologies, including cloud computing, machine learning, and big data analytics to achieve greater levels of reliability, safety, security, and efficiency, and C3 Energy leverages these next-generation technologies to enable utilities to realize the full potential of their smart grid investments," said Connaughton. "The Presidential Trade Mission brought together U.S. and Chinese leaders and energy experts to share best practices and further the discussion around China's smart grid and smart city technology requirements."
