The top design of China's energy reform

**Abstract** 21 million kilowatts, 18 million kilowatts, and 10 million kilowatts. These are the new installation targets for hydropower, wind power, and photovoltaic power generation in 2013, marking the most significant three-digit numbers in energy development this year. This set of figures reflects a clear shift in focus toward renewable energy and strategic planning for the nation’s energy future. The National Energy Work Conference outlined the key priorities for 2013, emphasizing adjustments across traditional energy sources, renewable energy, and institutional reforms. The conference highlighted the need to accelerate unconventional oil and gas development, such as shale gas and coalbed methane, while also focusing on improving trans-regional transmission infrastructure. In the realm of renewable energy, the conference emphasized “deep development,” with hydropower moving toward “positive development,” wind power adopting “coordinated development,” and photovoltaics shifting toward “vigorously developing distributed power plants.” Specific targets were set: 21 million kilowatts for hydropower, 18 million kilowatts for wind power, and 10 million kilowatts for solar PV. These targets signal a more structured and focused approach to renewable energy expansion. For the first time, the conference included a mention of “top-level design” for energy system reform, indicating that the government is preparing a comprehensive roadmap for future energy policy. Experts suggest that this could eventually lead to the establishment of a Ministry of Energy, consolidating energy-related functions currently spread across multiple agencies. Shale gas development is expected to take off this year, marking its official entry into large-scale production. However, experts warn against repeating the mistakes seen in wind and solar sectors, urging careful planning and regulatory oversight to avoid overcapacity and inefficiency. Wind power faces challenges, particularly in grid integration. Last year’s industry downturn was partly due to disorderly growth, leading to issues like curtailment and stranded capacity. This year’s target of 18 million kilowatts aims to stabilize the sector, but success will depend on better coordination between wind farms and the national grid. Photovoltaics, too, are undergoing a shift. While Europe’s market slowdown has hit domestic producers hard, the focus is now on expanding distributed solar systems. With costs falling and grid parity becoming closer, this presents a golden opportunity for China to build a robust domestic market. Hydropower, though slower in growth compared to previous years, still plays a crucial role. The 21 million kilowatts target for 2013 is modest, but it aligns with the broader goal of reaching 290 million kilowatts by 2015. Experts note that current progress remains below target, highlighting the need for more aggressive investment and project execution. Overall, 2013 marks a turning point for China’s energy strategy, with a stronger emphasis on sustainability, efficiency, and long-term planning. As the country moves forward, balancing growth with environmental responsibility will be key to ensuring a stable and secure energy future.
