BEIJING, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) — During the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), China has continued to increase its non-fossil energy supply, accelerating the transition to clean and low-carbon energy, causing the share of non-fossil energy in the country's overall power generation structure to increase by more than 5 percentage points, Du Zhongming, director of the Electric Power Department of the National Energy Administration, said at a press conference on Tuesday.

During the reporting period, China's rapid growth in electricity demand was driven by advanced manufacturing, such as electric vehicles, lithium batteries and photovoltaic products, and the digital industry, such as artificial intelligence and big data. "The development of emerging industries has effectively increased the share of electricity in the energy consumption structure, promoted the optimization of the energy consumption structure, and at the same time driven the green transformation of the energy production structure," Du Zhongming emphasized.

According to him, from 2021 to 2025, China has made vigorous efforts to build an EV charging infrastructure system. As of the end of July 2025, the country had built 16.696 million charging infrastructure facilities, 10 times more than the figure recorded at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan. Moreover, China leads the world in terms of scale in this area.

In the future, China will adhere to the principle of moderately advancing the power generation sector, actively encourage rational power consumption and promote green energy consumption, Du Zhongming said. -0-
