China’s National Energy Administration said on Oct. 12 at its third 2026
energy-regulation meeting in Beijing that regulators must front-load planning
for winter peak power-supply oversight, bolster supply-demand monitoring and
early warning, and improve the nationwide unified electricity market system. The NEA
ordered tighter electricity-market supervision and enforcement to preserve fairness
competition, stronger market mechanisms to improve renewable consumption,
expedited handling of household energy needs, accelerated remediation of
non-grid direct-supply residential complexes, faster rollout of a new round of
measures to secure electricity access, and stepped-up power-quality improvement
actions; it also called for pushing the second phase of comprehensive
power-sector supervision to convert regulatory findings into operational
changes.
