China State Planner and the National Energy Administration issued the 15th
Five-Year Plan for New Energy System Construction, directing policy to support
both centralized and distributed generation and power and non-power uses, and to
promote multi-resource complementarity, spatially intensive utilisation and
integrated aggregated operations. The plan targets large-scale, stable expansion
of onshore wind and solar PV, offshore wind development into deep and far seas,
scaling of concentrated solar power and ocean energy, and advancement of
geothermal, hydrogen and green fuels. It backs hybrid projects such as
wind+biomass, mandates upgrades to grid-friendly, system-compatible renewable
plants, aims to double non-electric uses of new energy, and requires
establishment of a comprehensive evaluation index system for new‑energy
absorption. The plan sets a target for new energy to provide 30% of power
generation by 2030.
