Recently, the National Energy Administration, together with the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the National Bureau of Statistics, issued the "Action Plan for Promoting Mutual Empowerment of Artificial Intelligence and Energy". Among them, it is proposed to improve the diverse power supply capacity of computing power facilities. Based on the actual situation such as the scale of computing power facilities accessing the system, the voltage level of the power grid, the penetration rate of new energy in the power grid, the requirements for electrical energy quality, and the business type of computing power facilities, establish and improve the energy supply planning and construction standards for computing power facilities. Explore nuclear power, hydrogen energy and other energy sources to directly supply energy to computing power facilities. Encourage the configuration of grid-connected energy storage for computing power facilities to enhance power supply stability and active support capability for the power system.
