National Energy Administration releases policy interpretation of "Guiding Opinions on Energy Work in 2025"
In order to thoroughly implement the relevant decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, practice the new energy security strategy with higher standards, do a solid job in energy work in 2025, and help my country's economy continue to recover and improve with high-quality energy development and high-level energy security, the National Energy Administration has studied and formulated the "Guiding Opinions on Energy Work in 2025" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guiding Opinions"). We now interpret the "Guiding Opinions" from four aspects. 01 Background Formulating annual work guidance opinions is a task clearly stipulated in the Energy Planning and Management Measures, and is also an important measure for the energy industry to unify its thinking, form synergy, and promote high-quality energy development. In 2024, the energy industry will thoroughly implement the decisions and deployments of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, take the new energy security strategy of "four revolutions and one cooperation" as the fundamental guideline, coordinate the promotion of high-quality energy development and high-level security, further enhance the energy security guarantee capability, and achieve a record high output of industrial raw coal above designated size. Crude oil production has been stable for three consecutive years and has exceeded 200 million tons. The output of industrial natural gas above designated size has increased by more than 10 billion cubic meters for eight consecutive years. The energy consumption structure has been continuously optimized, and the level of green and low-carbon development has been further improved. At present, my country's energy development is also facing some risks and challenges. The international situation is complex and severe, the rate of oil and gas outsourcing is still high, the rapid growth of new energy has put forward higher requirements for system absorption, key energy technology and equipment research and development still needs to be strengthened, and the reform of energy system and mechanism needs to be deepened. The "Guiding Opinions" put forward targeted policy measures, which will help guide all localities and relevant units to further accelerate the planning and construction of new energy systems, work together to complete the "14th Five-Year Plan", and help my country's economy continue to recover with high-quality energy development and high-level security, and meet the people's growing demand for energy for a better life. 02 Main considerations The Guiding Opinions adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, fully implement the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress and the Second and Third Plenary Sessions of the 20th CPC Central Committee, adhere to the general working tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability, implement the new energy security strategy with higher stan...
