Zhang Jianhua, director of the National Energy Administration, said in response to a reporter's question that with the new industrialization and urbanization advancing deeply, China's energy demand is expected to remain rigid growth in the coming period.

The National Energy Board recently issued "on the new energy consumption work to protect the new energy high-quality development of the notice" (hereinafter referred to as "notice"), clearly accelerate the new energy supporting grid project construction, and actively promote the system to enhance the ability to regulate the network and the coordinated development of the network and other key tasks.

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the National Energy Administration (NEA), the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MOE), the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), and the National Forestry and Grassland Administration (NFGA) issued a notice on the pilot work of conducting a census of wind and photovoltaic power resources.

The State Council on the issuance of the "2024-2025 Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction Action Program" notice. The Programme states that in 2025, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption will reach about 20%, and energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation in key areas and industries will result in energy savings of about 50 million tons of standard coal and carbon dioxide emission reductions of about 130 million tons, so that the best efforts will be made to complete the energy-saving and carbon-reducing binding indicators of the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan".

Under the premise of protecting the ecology, combining photovoltaic development with traditional sand control and carrying out the construction of photovoltaic sand control projects are of great significance for promoting ecological governance and realizing the dual-carbon goal.

The Office of the State Board has issued a call for 2024 green and low-carbon technologies for public agencies.
