Policy Update on Green Energy Initiatives
On May 9, 2025, the National Energy Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly released guidelines to accelerate the development of the green electricity market. This initiative aims to promote the transition to renewable energy sources, emphasizing the importance of reducing carbon emissions in the energy sector.
The document outlines a comprehensive strategy to establish a robust electricity market by 2025, focusing on the integration of new energy resources and enhancing energy efficiency. It highlights the necessity of creating a market environment that supports green electricity pricing mechanisms and regulatory frameworks.
The guidelines indicate that by the first quarter of 2025, the total installed capacity of green energy from various sources is expected to exceed 2.54 trillion yuan, representing a 35.15% increase compared to the previous year. In addition, it anticipates that the total power generation from renewable sources will reach 1.93 trillion yuan, reflecting a substantial growth of 176.61%.
As part of this initiative, the government will also focus on the construction of new energy systems, which will utilize a combination of energy generation and service models to accelerate the deployment of green energy solutions. There is an emphasis on ensuring that renewable energy sources achieve a stable and sustainable growth trajectory.
Furthermore, the guidelines stipulate that by March 31, 2025, the total installed capacity for energy storage will reach 5,978.01 MW. This includes contributions from various sources such as hydroelectric power, wind energy, solar power, and other renewable sources.
The initiative aims to support the overall development of the green energy sector in China, positioning it as a leader in sustainable energy practices. The strategies proposed will also encourage innovation and investment in renewable energy technologies.
As part of the policy’s implementation, there will be ongoing assessments and adjustments to ensure that the green energy market remains dynamic and efficient. This includes setting regulatory benchmarks and operational frameworks that align with the goals of sustainable development.
The guidelines serve as a foundational document for the development of China’s green energy sector, outlining clear objectives and strategies to ensure significant progress by 2025.
