The Cyberspace Administration and six other ministries issued an Implementation Plan for Promoting Coordinated Digital and Green Transformation (2026–2030). The plan targets that by 2030 AI will become lower‑cost and more efficient and will deeply enable green, low‑carbon technology and industrial development. It calls for substantial energy‑efficiency gains in emerging areas such as computing power facilities (data centers) and 5G base stations, and directs renewable electricity consumption in key sectors including computing facilities to reach each province’s renewable power consumption responsibility weight. The plan also accelerates digital‑green integration across agriculture, manufacturing, trade, consumption and urban operations and says data‑intelligent tools will strengthen environmental governance to support a comprehensive green economic transition and higher‑quality growth.
