Beijing presents plan for energy transition

Last week, China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration (NEA) presented a plan for the People’s Republic’s energy transition. The document is intended to act as a roadmap for the country’s efforts to decarbonize its power sector. It contains numerous implementation measures, but no new targets or quotas for reducing power sector emissions or the share of specific power sources. It is one of the country’s high-level sector plans for achieving climate goals. The plan covers all aspects of its power system, from generation to transportation, trade, and consumption.
