Promoting high-quality development of new energy in the new era.

In recent years, my country’s new energy development represented by wind power and photovoltaic power generation has achieved remarkable results. The installed capacity ranks first in the world, the proportion of power generation has steadily increased, and the cost has dropped rapidly. It has basically entered a new stage of development without subsidies. At the same time, there are still constraints in the development and utilization of new energy, such as insufficient adaptability of the power system to large-scale and high-proportion new energy grid connection and consumption, and obvious constraints on land resources. In order to achieve the goal of having a total installed capacity of wind power and solar power of more than 1.2 billion kilowatts by 2030, and to accelerate the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system, we must adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, complete, accurate, Comprehensively implement the new development concept, coordinate development and safety, insist on building first and then breaking, and overall planning, better play the role of new energy in ensuring and increasing energy supply, and help solidly do a good job in carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. In accordance with the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the following implementation plan is formulated for promoting the high-quality development of new energy in the new era.
