Xi Jinping stressed the need to vigorously promote the high-quality development of new energy in China and make greater contributions to building a clean and beautiful world at the 12th collective study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 1—On the afternoon of February 29, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) held its 12th collective study session on new energy technologies and China's energy security. Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, presided over the study session and stressed that energy security is crucial to the overall economic and social development. Actively developing clean energy and promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of the economy and society have become a universal consensus in the international community in response to global climate change. We must follow the trend, seize the opportunity, and promote the high-quality development of new energy with greater efforts to provide safe and reliable energy security for the construction of Chinese-style modernization and make greater contributions to building a clean and beautiful world.
Professor Liu Jizhen, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the National Key Laboratory of New Energy Power Systems, gave a lecture on this issue and put forward suggestions. The comrades of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee listened attentively to the lecture and held discussions.
Xi Jinping delivered an important speech after listening to the lecture and discussion. He pointed out that since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, China has accelerated the construction of a new energy system, continuously consolidating the foundation of energy security, and providing strong support for economic and social development. At the same time, it must be acknowledged that China's energy development still faces a series of challenges, including enormous demand pressure, many supply constraints, and an arduous task of green and low-carbon transformation. The solution to these challenges is to vigorously develop new energy.
Xi Jinping stressed that China is rich in wind and solar energy resources, and the potential for new energy development is enormous. Through continuous research and accumulation, China has achieved world-leading levels in many new energy technologies and equipment manufacturing, and has built the world's largest clean power supply system. New energy vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products have also formed strong competitiveness in the international market. New energy development has a good foundation, and China has become an important driver of global energy development transformation and response to climate change.
Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to coordinate the development of new energy and national energy security, adhere to planning first, strengthen top-level design, and ensure overall coordination. Attention should be paid to handling the relationship between new and traditional energy, the overall situation and local interests, government and market, energy development and conservation, to promote the high-quality development of new energy.
Xi Jinping stressed that it is necessary to target the forefront of world energy science and technology, focus on key energy fields and major needs, rationally select technological routes, give full play to the advantages of the new national system, strengthen joint research and development of key core technologies, strengthen the transformation and application of scientific research results, cultivate energy technology and its related industries into new growth points driving China's industrial upgrading, and promote the development of new productive forces.
Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to adapt to the needs of energy transformation, further improve the new energy infrastructure network, promote the intelligent transformation of power grid infrastructure and the construction of smart microgrids, and improve the power grid's ability to accept, configure, and regulate clean energy. Accelerate the construction of a charging infrastructure network system to support the rapid development of new energy vehicles.
Xi Jinping stressed that it is necessary to deepen international cooperation in new energy science and technology innovation. Orderly promote cooperation in the new energy industry chain and build a new win-win model for green and low-carbon energy transformation. Deeply participate in the reform of international energy governance and promote the establishment of a fair, just, balanced, and inclusive global energy governance system.
Xi Jinping finally stressed that to achieve technological self-reliance and self-strengthening, it is necessary to grasp the general direction of current technological development, adhere to the principle of taking our own path, highlight problem-orientation and demand-orientation, and improve the effectiveness of investment in technological innovation.
