Chinese Economy Annual Conference: Next year, we will expand the application of green electricity and accelerate the construction of a new energy system.

At the 2025-2026 China Economic Annual Conference held today at the China International Economic Exchange Center, Han Wenxiu, Deputy Director of the Central Financial and Economic Affairs Commission in charge of daily work and Director of the Central Rural Work Office, stated that next year is the first year of transitioning from dual control of energy consumption to dual control of carbon emissions. It is necessary to adhere to the leadership of "dual carbon" and promote comprehensive green transformation. Han Wenxiu emphasized that green development is the foundation of high-quality development. It is important to formulate an outline for the construction of an energy powerhouse, accelerate the construction of a new energy system, strengthen the clean and efficient utilization of fossil energy, and expand the application of green electricity. Next year, as the first year of transitioning from dual control of energy consumption to dual control of carbon emissions, it is important to actively and steadily promote peaking carbon emissions, deepen energy-saving and carbon reduction transformation in key industries, strengthen the construction of the national carbon emission trading market, cultivate new growth points such as hydrogen energy and green fuels, and build a number of zero-carbon zones and zero-carbon factories.
