China has published its first comprehensive guideline to enhance the consumption and regulation of renewable energy, aiming to ensure large\u00a0 clean-power deployment is matched by efficient usage, Xinhua reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guideline on Promoting the Consumption and Regulation of New Energy<\/a>, jointly issued on 10 November by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the National Energy Administration, sets two key milestones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 2030, China plans to establish a coordinated system to manage renewable power more efficiently, enabling smoother power trading between provinces and better grid integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 2035, the country aims to build a \u201cnew-type power system<\/a>\u201d capable of accommodating a much higher share of renewables, supported by a unified national electricity market to balance supply and demand nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China\u2019s renewable power sector has expanded rapidly in recent years, with total wind and solar capacity reaching<\/a> 1.48 terawatts in the first quarter of 2025, surpassing coal for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet rising \u201ccurtailment\u201d pressures, when available wind or solar power goes unused, have highlighted the need for stronger consumption mechanisms, according to officials<\/a> from the National Energy Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bloomberg data shows<\/a> that in the first half of 2025, solar curtailment rose to 5.7% from 3% a year earlier, while wind curtailment reached 6.6%, up from 3.9% in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To address these challenges, the new policy divides new-energy projects into five categories and calls for tailored strategies for each. For example, combining local consumption with long-distance power transmission for desert bases, and strengthening offshore power networks to serve coastal demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guideline refines China\u2019s earlier strategy for building a new-type power system, Zhang Kuiye of the China Energy Research Society told<\/a> Jiemian News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zhang said it offers a clear \u201croadmap\u201d covering policy, market, technology and regulation, marking a shift in China\u2019s renewable sector from rapid capacity expansion to higher quality, coordinated development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
