National Energy Administration: Further increase the efforts to integrate and absorb new energy sources into the grid, using multiple measures to improve the level of integration and absorption of new energy sources.

Recently, the National Energy Administration held a national renewable energy electricity development and construction monthly (June) dispatch video conference. The meeting emphasized the need to further increase the integration of new energy into the grid. Based on scientific planning and orderly construction, the comprehensive improvement of the five capabilities of grid access, regulation, dispatch, forecasting, and interregional assistance is needed to enhance the level of new energy integration into the grid. Efforts should be made to actively promote the local consumption of new energy. Local governments, relevant departments, enterprises, and power users need to work together to promote the implementation of policies for direct connection to green electricity, fully unleash the potential of local consumption of new energy. The construction of projects should be accelerated. The construction of large-scale wind and solar power base projects should be continued, with procedures for starting construction being processed promptly and the project timeline being properly arranged to ensure project progress.

Wan Jinsong, member of the Party group of the National Energy Administration and deputy director, attended the meeting and delivered a speech. The meeting summarized the overall situation of renewable energy development in China from January to April 2026, listened to the implementation of the opinions and suggestions put forward at the March dispatch meeting, analyzed the situation and problems faced by renewable energy development, and put forward the next steps. The meeting pointed out that from January to April 2026, China's renewable energy development has maintained a good momentum. By the end of April, the installed capacity of renewable energy generation exceeded 2.4 billion kilowatts, accounting for 60.5% of the country's total installed capacity; the newly installed capacity was 75.16 million kilowatts, accounting for 70.7% of all new installations; the electricity generated was 1.2 trillion kilowatt-hours, accounting for 36.4% of the total electricity consumption. Among them, the cumulative grid connection of wind and solar power reached 1.911 billion kilowatts (6.61 billion kilowatts for wind power and 12.50 billion kilowatts for solar power), with a total electricity generation of 805.2 billion kilowatt-hours, accounting for 24.1% of the total electricity consumption. The role of renewable energy in ensuring supply and promoting transformation has become more evident. The meeting emphasized that to achieve a good start for the "15th Five-Year Plan," seven key tasks should be focused on. First, it is necessary to further increase the efforts to integrate new energy into the grid. Based on scientific planning and orderly construction, efforts should be made to comprehensively enhance the five capabilities of grid access, regulation, dispatch, forecasting, and interregional assistance, and to promote the level of integration of new energy into the grid through multi-faceted measures. Second, efforts should be made to actively promote the local consumption of new energy. Local governments, relevant departments, enterprises, and power users need to work together to promote the implementation of policies for direct connection to green electricity and fully unleash the potential for local consumption of new energy. Third, efforts should be made to accelerate project construction. Continued efforts should be made to carry out the construction of large-scale wind and solar power bases, expedite the processing of pre-construction procedures, properly arrange construction schedules, and ensure that projects progress smoothly. Fourth, solid work should be done to implement policies. Based on the original intention and long-term development of the policies, a clear understanding of the actual situation should be made, and enterprise demands should be heard to solve problems properly within the policy framework and accurately implement policy requirements according to local conditions. Fifth, efforts should be made to accelerate the improvement of market mechanisms that are adapted to a high proportion of new energy. Market price fluctuations should be followed to ensure stable income for new energy enterprises, and reasonable price differentials should be leveraged to drive energy storage development with price signals to help achieve the dual-carbon goals. Sixth, efforts should be made to enhance the overall competitiveness of enterprises. Power generation enterprises should master the full chain management of generation, distribution, and use, as well as capabilities in green energy and carbon accounting, and transition to comprehensive entities to further enhance decision-making abilities and adapt to market rule requirements. Seventh, efforts should be made to strengthen coordination and form collective efforts. Local energy authorities should plan and promote effective policy implementation based on local renewable energy development targets, carbon emission assessment requirements, and local conditions. The dispatched institutions of the National Energy Administration should provide policy supervision and dispatches, promptly report issues, and provide reminders. Relevant officials from the National Development and Reform Commission, the National Energy Administration, provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities), and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps departments for energy management, dispatched institutions of the National Energy Administration, relevant grid enterprises, power generation enterprises, Hydroelectric Design Institute, Electric Power Planning & Design Institute, Energy Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, China Hydropower Engineering Society, Wind Power Professional Committee of the China Renewable Energy Society, China Photovoltaic Industry Association, and other units attended the meeting.
