NDRC and the National Energy Administration issued a Renewable Energy
Development plan for the 15th Five-Year Plan period, targeting roughly 100 GW of
new offshore wind construction starts and cumulative offshore wind capacity
above 100 GW by 2030. The plan calls for coordinating hydropower development
with ecological protection and other water uses (flood control, water supply,
irrigation, navigation) and targets conventional hydropower capacity of about
410 GW by 2030. It prioritises central, eastern and southern regions to promote
multi-scenario, diversified development and spatially intensive compound use of
distributed new energy, aiming for over 300 GW of distributed capacity additions
during the 15th Five-Year period.
