NEA 2021 Energy Work Plan has stricter energy decarbonization requirement

• Coal consumption less than 56%
• Ca. 200 TWh newly increased
• Electricity accounts for about 28% of the final energy consumption

• Coal consumption less than 57.5%
• Ca. 150 TWh newly increased electrification electricity
• Electricity accounts for about 27% of the final energy consumption

• Non-fossil power generation capacity should reach ca. 1,100 GW
• Wind power and solar PV consumption should account for 11% of nationwide energy consumption

• Non-fossil power generation capacity should reach ca. 900 GW
• Further increase clean energy including wind and solar PV’s consumption rate

• Reduction of energy consumption per unit of GDP by 3%

• Further increase energy system efficiency

Three suggestions for achieving carbon peaking and neutrality targets:

• Rapid development of non-fossil fuel energy
• Enhancing renewable energy consumption
• Promoting clean and efficient energy use

• Insist on clean and low carbon development as the principle. Insist on low carbon strategy, accelerate clean and high efficient use of fossil fuel energy, ensure rapid development of non-fossil fuel energy, continue to extend the proportion of clean energy consumption and promote the energy sector’s green and low carbon development.
