This paper analyzes the concept of Global Energy Interconnection (GEI) as presented in the white paper jointly published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA). The analysis delves into the technical, economic, and policy aspects of GEI, examining its potential benefits and challenges. Furthermore, the paper explores the role of international standards in facilitating the development and implementation of GEI, highlighting the contributions of the IEC in this domain. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of GEI for global energy security, sustainability, and access.
