Why it matters in the plan

New energy is named as a strategic emerging industry, and new-type batteries are one of the plan’s ten highlighted tracks. The energy chapter places these technologies in a broader system that includes renewable generation, nuclear power, smart grids, and storage.

The emphasis is therefore not only on capacity additions. It also concerns how a changing generation mix can be connected, stored, dispatched, and used across transport and industry.

What the plan calls for

  • Develop wind, solar, hydro, and nuclear energy alongside smarter grids.
  • Advance new-type batteries and energy-storage systems.
  • Improve the resilience, flexibility, and efficiency of the modern energy system.
