The “Development Plan for Emerging Energy Industries” (hereinafter referred to as “Planning”) that has been reported to the State Council is expected to be introduced at the end of this year.

According to the “21st Century Business Herald” news, on September 26, Liang Zhipeng, Director of the New Energy Division of the New Energy and Renewable Energy Division of the National Energy Administration disclosed the development of the new energy industry in the “Planning” and “Strategic Emerging Industries Planning”. (Hereinafter referred to as the "Detailed Rules") is consistent in its content but only slightly different in scope. As the "Plan" has already been drafted and submitted to the State Council, it is expected to be introduced earlier.

With the new energy being selected into the seven fields delineated in the "Strategic Emerging Industries Planning", related planning and research have been fully carried out, and the road map for new energy development has also become increasingly clear.

For the cumulative direct investment increase of RMB 5 trillion referred to in the “Plan”, Liang Zhipeng stated that “the total amount of RMB 5 trillion is calculated according to the plan through the current investment situation, which includes both national investment and incentives. Commercialization of social investment.” According to its specific breakdown, in addition to nuclear power and hydropower, renewable energy investment will reach 2 trillion - 3 trillion yuan, of which wind power will account for about 1.5 trillion, and solar energy investment will reach 2000 Billion - 300 billion.

The proportion of national investment is "as little as possible"

Li Junfeng, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission’s Energy Institute, said that the "Strategic Emerging Industries Plan" includes seven industries including the new energy industry, energy conservation and environmental protection industries, and new energy vehicle industries. The content of the plan is "very short, for each industry." There is only one sentence in the explanation.” Therefore, the seven industries must also formulate corresponding industrial development rules.

In terms of implementation procedures, it will take quite some time from the formulation and implementation of the “Detailed Rules” to the submission to the National Development and Reform Commission, and to the State Council for examination and publication. However, no matter when it is issued, the "Rules" and "Planning" are consistent with the goal of new energy development.

In this regard, Liang Zhipeng further explained that the "Detailed Rules" includes only new energy fields, including wind energy, solar energy, and biomass energy. However, the “Planning” not only includes the development and utilization of new energy resources such as advanced nuclear power, wind energy, solar energy, and biomass energy, but also the upgrading of traditional energy sources will become an important part, including clean coal, smart grid, distributed energy, and vehicles. The specific implementation path, development scale, and major policy initiatives for the industrialization and application of new energy technologies.
