“十四五”时期 我国构建起全球最大、发展最快的可再生能源体系

Core Viewpoint - The article highlights China's significant progress in energy security and green low-carbon development during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, positioning the country as a key player in global energy transition [2][3]. Energy Supply and Consumption - During the first four years of the "14th Five-Year Plan," China's energy consumption increment reached 1.5 times that of the entire "13th Five-Year Plan" period, with projected new electricity consumption exceeding the annual electricity consumption of the European Union [2]. - In 2024, China's national power generation is expected to surpass 10 trillion kilowatt-hours, accounting for one-third of global power generation, with total energy production equivalent to approximately 5 billion tons of standard coal, representing over one-fifth of the global total [2]. Energy Resource Optimization - Energy resource allocation has been optimized, with 40% of energy consumption in eastern regions sourced from major energy transmission projects such as "West-to-East Electricity Transmission," "West-to-East Gas Transmission," and "North Coal to South" [2]. Green and Low-Carbon Transition - The "14th Five-Year Plan" marks the fastest period for green low-carbon transition, with China establishing the world's largest and fastest-growing renewable energy system. The share of renewable energy generation capacity increased from 40% to approximately 60% [2]. - Wind and solar power installations have seen significant annual increases, surpassing 100 million, 200 million, and 300 million kilowatts in successive years, demonstrating a stepwise development [2]. Contribution to Global Carbon Reduction - One-third of the total electricity consumed in society is now green electricity, with non-fossil energy's share in national energy consumption increasing by 1 percentage point annually, expected to exceed the "14th Five-Year Plan" target of 20% [3]. - During the "14th Five-Year Plan," China's exported wind and solar products have cumulatively reduced carbon emissions by approximately 4.1 billion tons for other countries [3].
