China published a five-year plan for building a new energy system, aiming to map out a way forward for a sector that’s starting to run up against the constraints of its rapid pivot toward clean electricity.
Every half-decade, Chinese leaders publish a five-year plan outlining economic and societal goals, and then follow it up with several sectoral schemes with more detailed targets and strategies. This year, the broader plan came out in March, and sectoral plans have begun trickling out in recent weeks, including ones on jobs and urban renewal.
