CHINA STATE PLANNER and the National Energy Administration issued a plan to preliminarily build a new power system by 2030, targeting non‑fossil sources to supply 50% of electricity generation. The plan calls for a secure, low‑carbon, resilient and smart grid, stronger supply capacity and improved system flexibility to keep power adequacy at reasonable levels for economic and social needs. It aims to enable high‑level integration and utilization of renewables—accommodating more than 2.8 billion kW (≈2,800 GW) of new energy capacity—and to build charging infrastructure to support over 110 million electric vehicles. Institutional reforms include more complete system mechanisms and the basic establishment of a nationwide unified electricity market.
