Under the lights of the State Council Press Conference Hall in Beijing, dozens of media reporters simultaneously raised recording devices. Wang Hongzhi, Director of the National Energy Administration, stood in front of the press conference and released a planning document related to China's energy direction for the next five years. By 2030, the proportion of new energy installed capacity such as wind and solar power will exceed 50% for the first time, becoming the mainstay of China's power installed capacity - this means that the era of coal dominated power structure is entering the countdown.

New energy accounts for over half of the total

According to the plan, the total installed capacity of electricity in China will reach 5.4 billion kilowatts by 2030, achieving a leapfrog growth compared to the current 4 billion kilowatts. Among them, the proportion of new energy installations such as wind power and solar power has exceeded 50%, officially becoming the main body of electricity installations; The proportion of non fossil energy generation has simultaneously reached 50%, becoming the main source of electricity generation. Coal and oil consumption have reached their peak, and the proportion of non fossil energy consumption has increased to 25%. The national comprehensive energy production capacity has been increased to 5.8 billion tons of standard coal, the domestic independent energy supply capacity continues to strengthen, and the import channels are more diversified and stable.

Four major projects are advancing simultaneously

Throughout the 15th Five Year Plan period, the total cumulative investment in key national energy projects and new business models will exceed 20 trillion yuan. The key construction tasks cover four major directions: firstly, to concentrate on the development of the Shagehuang large base, the integrated water, wind and solar base, and the offshore wind power cluster; Secondly, we will steadily and orderly promote coastal nuclear power projects; The third is to improve the national oil and gas pipeline network and the new backbone power grid; The fourth is to expand the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, lay out comprehensive bases for wind solar hydrogen ammonia alcohol and large-scale solar thermal power stations, promote direct green power supply and smart microgrids, and create a number of zero carbon industrial parks. The four major projects are advancing simultaneously, aiming to build a resilient, green, and intelligent new energy network. Keywords: Domestic new energy latest news、New energy latest reports

Four major features depict the outline of a new energy system

The plan proposes that in the next five years, China's energy development will present four distinct characteristics. In terms of safety and resilience, the comprehensive energy production capacity continues to improve, and the import channels are more diverse and stable. In terms of structural optimization, the dual dominant positions of new energy and non fossil energy generation have been established, and coal and oil consumption has reached its peak. In terms of infrastructure, a new type of power system adapted to large-scale new energy access has been preliminarily built. In terms of innovation vitality, key equipment technology has basically achieved independent and controllable development, and the national unified electricity market has basically taken shape. Wang Hongzhi stated at the press conference that by 2030, China will initially establish a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient new energy system, comprehensively consolidating the foundation of building an energy powerhouse. From the installation subject to the generation subject, and then to the consumption subject, China's power system is undergoing a profound reconstruction from quantitative change to qualitative change.Editor/Gao Xue
