June 30 — China’s National Energy Administration held a meeting in Hangzhou to
advance improvements in power-access services. The NEA said reforms during the
14th Five-Year Plan have delivered significant gains—noting breakthroughs in
supply services, institutional frameworks, international benchmarking and
regulatory governance, and progress removing long-standing grid-connection
bottlenecks and urban–rural supply shortfalls. The meeting directed targeted
measures aligned with economic development, the energy transition and public
needs; prioritized benchmark/pilot projects, service support for industrial
upgrading and resolution of household power-access problems; and required
strengthened accountability and vertical–horizontal, internal–external
coordination to ensure policy implementation.
