Make electricity greener

In addition, China's renewable energy power utilization rate has increased significantly, and in 2019, the national average wind power utilization rate reached 96%, the photovoltaic power generation utilization rate reached 98%, and the water energy utilization rate in the main river basin reached 96%.

We will build a unified, open, competitive and orderly energy market system

"Renewable energy has become a major lever in the fight against climate change. In order to achieve the goal of peaking carbon emissions and carbon neutrality, renewable energy will become the majority of China's energy growth in the future." National Development and Reform Commission Energy Research Institute renewable energy development center deputy director Tao Ye believes.

The development and utilization of non-fossil energy is the main way to promote the green and low-carbon energy transformation. China gives priority to non-fossil energy in energy development, and vigorously promotes low-carbon energy to replace high-carbon energy and renewable energy to replace fossil energy.

At the "Belt and Road" clean Energy Development Forum held in 2020, Lu Qiang, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, automatic control and power system expert, said: "On the one hand, we need to strengthen independent innovation, reduce the cost of clean energy production, accelerate the transformation of clean energy technology by guiding scientific research and development and innovation experiments, and stimulate the vitality of the technology market; On the other hand, it is necessary to establish and improve the market-based trading mechanism for clean energy, and actively promote the construction of the spot market for electricity. At the same time, we should build a platform for sharing clean energy, expand the scale of market transactions, and maximize the utilization of clean energy."

According to the white paper, to promote clean energy carbon reduction, we also need to build a unified, open and orderly competitive energy market system. We will build trading platforms for coal, electricity, oil and natural gas in accordance with the characteristics of different energy varieties to promote interaction between supply and demand.
