In recent years, the large-scale development and utilization of new energy represented by wind energy and solar energy indicates that the energy system will undergo profound changes, and the power system will play a particularly prominent role in the construction of a new energy system. However, the whole industrial chain of development and utilization of wind energy and solar energy is closely related to meteorological conditions. China's meteorological departments and technical service personnel in related industries have carried out intensive and fruitful research work. Any fluctuation of wind and photovoltaic resources, changes in meteorological conditions such as rainfall and temperature, and occurrence of disastrous weather will have a great impact on power generation, power dispatching, power transmission, power supply and other links. A safe, clean and sustainable supply of electricity of economic efficiency is in urgent need of accurate, timely and targeted meteorological services. Meteorological services cover all the links of "power generation, transmission, distribution and use", including meteorological monitoring, forecasting and early warning, disaster-causing mechanism, damage assessment on disasters, ecological restoration, etc. The electric power and meteorological technology improves the ability of the power system to cope with meteorological impacts by taking advantage of favorable meteorological conditions to reduce the impact of unfavorable ones.

The Global Gold Open Access academic journal Southern Energy Construction (indexed by Scopus, DOAJ, etc.) specially invited professor CHEN Zhenghong, a pioneer of meteorology of the China Meteorological Administration, and researcher SHEN Yanbo to serve as the special co-editors-in-chief of the special issue, who took charge of the publication of a special issue of "Electric Power and Meteorological Technology" in January 2024, to jointly promote scientific communication and academic exchange in the field of new energy power engineering technology. This special issue will provide a unique opportunity to showcase the research results of experts and scholars in China on topics related to electricity and climate.
