The Infrastructure Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission issued a document stating that it is necessary to strengthen the efficient connection, co-construction, sharing, and coordinated linkage of infrastructure, promote digital transformation, and intelligent upgrade with the goal of overall optimization and empowering effectiveness. In the transportation sector, various modes of transportation are being promoted to integrate, accelerate the development of hub network and integration, promote the integrated development of multi-level rail transportation, strengthen the convenient connection between trunk transportation and urban transportation, develop integrated transfer comprehensive passenger transport hubs, and improve the hub port station integrated transportation system. It is important to make rational use of the space of transportation facilities to build photovoltaic, energy storage, and charging facilities, and to optimize and enhance the flood control, water supply, and power generation functions of shipping and water conservancy hubs. The document also emphasizes the importance of promoting the digital transformation and upgrading of existing infrastructure, and vigorously developing intelligent transportation. In the energy sector, support is given to the development and consumption of new energy resources in resource-rich regions, strengthening cross-regional energy transmission and intra-regional autonomous balance, and forming a multi-energy complementary construction pattern. It encourages the coordinated construction of national computing power hubs and clean energy bases, and accelerates the innovation and development of green electricity parks, zero-carbon parks, smart microgrids, etc. The document also promotes the iterative updating of new energy generation technologies, research and application of flexible DC power transmission, smart dispatching, and intensifies the research and development of long-term energy storage, green hydrogen, ammonia, alcohol, nuclear fusion, continues to promote technology research and application in ultra-supercritical coal-fired power generation, flexibility transformation, etc.
