NDRC and the National Energy Administration issued a notice releasing the Renewable Energy Development "15th Five-Year Plan". The plan directs: new data centers should be planned and sited in coordination with renewable power generation; computing loads should be classified to tap spatial‑temporal flexibility; promote green‑power direct connections and integrated source‑grid‑load‑storage solutions; and steadily increase green power consumption by digital infrastructure and raise the share of renewables in existing digital infrastructure consumption.
