National Energy Administration: Will release and implement new energy system and series of sector-specific energy plans

Director Yunzhi Ren, Director of the Planning Department of the National Energy Administration, stated that 2026 is the inaugural year of the 14th Five-Year Plan. We will release and implement new energy systems and a series of sector-specific energy plans, deeply practice the new energy security strategy, accelerate the construction of new energy systems, promote the building of an energy powerhouse, and provide strong energy support for the fundamental realization of socialist modernization. Among them, engineering projects are an important means of implementing the plan. We must strengthen the principle of “projects follow the plan.” On one hand, we will solidly promote the construction of strategic landmark major projects, safely and orderly advance the Yajiang Hydropower Project, and plan the construction of the “Three North” wind power and photovoltaic bases, Southwest water, wind, and solar integrated bases, coastal nuclear power bases, and offshore wind power bases, optimizing the construction of backbone channels for electricity, oil, and gas. On the other hand, we will accelerate the development of a batch of “small and beautiful” projects, implement upgrades to electric vehicle charging networks, plan and build several wind, solar, hydrogen, and ammonia integration bases, construct a number of solar thermal power projects, establish zero-carbon parks, and promote the green transformation of thermal systems.
