Will the surge in electricity demand from electric vehicles and artificial intelligence affect the green transformation of energy? The National Energy Administration responds.

Du Zhongming, Director of the Electricity Department of the National Energy Administration, said that since the 14th Five-Year Plan, advanced manufacturing industries represented by electric vehicles and other "new three items," as well as digital industries represented by artificial intelligence and big data, have driven the rapid growth of China's electricity demand. In the next step, the National Energy Administration will take the "14th Five-Year Plan" new type of electricity system planning as a guide, adhere to the principle of moderate advance in electricity, actively guide reasonable energy consumption and green energy consumption, provide strong support for the electricity needs of economic and social development and the well-being of the people, and strive to achieve the transformation from "using electricity" to "using electricity well."
