Beijing will prioritise energy security through large-scale projects and greater regional self-reliance, as risks mount at home and overseas
“The internal and external environment for building China’s new energy system is undergoing profound and complex changes,” said Ren Yuzhi, head of the administration’s planning department, in a statement.
To respond to these shifts, the administration pledged to improve energy flows and upgrade infrastructure nationwide. To boost self-sufficiency in eastern regions, it said it aims to have local supply cover more than 70 per cent of the projected increase in energy demand in those areas over the next five years.
