China will accelerate its efforts to promote larger-scale, higher-quality and steady development of the new energy sector during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), an official with the National Energy Administration (NEA) said at a press conference in Beijing on Friday. Measures will be taken to expand new energy supply and improve new energy utilization rates during the period, said Zhang Xing, deputy head of the NEA's General Office. China has set the goal of increasing its total installed wind and solar power generation capacity to over 3.6 billion kilowatts by 2035, with non-fossil energy accounting for more than 30 percent of the country's total energy mix. Zhang said to achieve the goal, China will need to add approximately 200 million kilowatts of new wind and solar power capacity annually over the next decade and further expand its supply of new energy sources during the 15th Five-Year Plan period. "Efforts will be made to coordinate local consumption and transmission infrastructure development, accelerate the construction of new energy bases in desert areas, the Gobi, and other arid areas, and leverage the complementary advantages of hydropower, wind power, and solar power to actively promote the planning and construction of integrated hydro-wind-solar bases. China will intensify offshore wind power development, refine top-level design, accelerate the research and formulation of deep-sea offshore wind power plans, and advance the standardized and orderly construction of offshore wind farms. We will also promote diversified development of distributed new energy across multiple scenarios," said Zhang. At the same time, China will coordinate the synergistic optimization and upgrading of new energy and traditional industries, promote the integrated and mutually reinforcing development of new energy with strategic emerging industries such as computing power and green hydrogen, and support new models and business formats that facilitate local consumption of new energy, including direct connection of green electricity and virtual power plants. Efforts will also focus on advancing diversified conversion and on-site utilization of new energy, such as wind and solar energy-powered hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol production, and wind and solar heating system. The green certificate trading mechanism will be improved to comprehensively enhance the consumption of new energy.
