National Energy Administration: Steadily and orderly shut down a batch of coal-fired generating units with a capacity of 300,000 kilowatts or less that meet the conditions, and promote the implementation of ultra-supercritical cross-generation upgrading and transformation of a batch of 600,000 kilowatt coal-fired generating units.

The National Energy Administration has issued the "Energy Sector Energy Saving and Carbon Reduction Action Plan". It mentions vigorously promoting energy saving and carbon reduction in thermal power generation. It suggests carefully and orderly shutting down a batch of coal-fired units of 300,000 kilowatts and below that meet the conditions, and encourages the construction of alternative units according to the requirements of the new generation coal-fired units. It also promotes the implementation of supercritical cross-generational upgrade and transformation of a batch of 600,000 kilowatt coal-fired units. Support will be provided for the implementation of zero-carbon and low-carbon fuel blending, carbon capture, utilization, and storage transformation in units that meet the conditions. The carbon emissions per kilowatt-hour should be reduced by about 10% after the transformation and construction. Implementation of integrated coal, gas, and new energy fusion projects, support for coal and new energy fusion for peak and off-peak regulation through thermal storage and energy storage coupling, integrated collection and distribution, and other methods to achieve fusion and carbon reduction effects.
