China and Central and Eastern European countries can play complimentary roles to each other with massive potential for cooperation in the energy sector, especially in renewable energy power generation, smart grid technology, advanced nuclear power technology, clean use of fossil fuels and smart energy, insiders said.

The two sides should focus on energy policy synergy, cooperation planning and research, technical exchanges, mutual acceptance of standards, and personnel training in the near future to further strengthen the cooperation, said Xu Xiaodong, deputy head of China Electric Power Planning & Engineering Institute.

In addition, they should also enhance cooperation on project investment, joint ventures and capacity cooperation on energy equipment manufacturing, he said.
