China Announces an $82 billion Plan to Establish a Third Industrial Revolution Energy Internet Across the Country

Under the plan, millions of people in neighborhoods and communities, as well as hundreds of thousands of businesses, will be able to produce their own green electricity locally and share it on a national energy Internet, just like they now create and share information online.

The distributed, collaborative, peer-to-peer, and laterally scaled energy infrastructure will fundamentally alter the economic life of China, while establishing its commanding leadership in the next great economic revolution.

There are currently over 380,000 copies of the Chinese edition of the Third Industrial Revolution book in print.

Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture has been chosen by the government of Kazakhstan to be the master planner and architect of the 2017 World Energy Expo. 

The $3.5 billion Expo, themed on Mr. Rifkin’s vision of a five pillar Third Industrial Revolution, will introduce millions of fair-goers to the smart, sustainable city of the future. 

The Expo city will consist of a residential, commercial, and industrial development zone that will remain after the fair and be the centerpiece of a Third Industrial Revolution Master Plan for the city of Astana. Mr. Rifkin is advising President Nazarbayev and the Kazakhstan government on the oversight and deployment for the Expo and accompanying TIR economic development zone.
