[Liu Mingyang, Deputy Director of the Department of Electric Power] Hello, friends from the press. Next, I will introduce the charging infrastructure of electric vehicle in the first quarter of 2026. By the end of March 2026, the total number of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in China had reached 21.481 million, an increase of 46 over the same period last year. Among them, there were 4.863 million public charging facilities with a total rated power of 234 million kilowatts; There were 16.618 million private charging facilities, and the installed capacity reached 1.
In the first quarter, we focused on the following tasks. First, do a good job of major holiday travel charging guarantee. During the Spring Festival this year, the scale of electric vehicle trips reached a new high. We monitored and analyzed the charging situation of expressways through the National Charging Facilities Monitoring Service Platform. During the Spring Festival period, the total number of times of charging on expressways was 6.021 million, and the charging capacity reached 0.75 million kilowatt-hours 14976, with an average daily charging capacity of 1664. We guided local governments and enterprises to strengthen pre-festival inspection, holiday duty and charging guidance, effectively ensuring the charging needs of electric vehicle for large-scale travel. It is expected that during the "May Day" period this year, the demand for charging will increase substantially. Based on historical data, we and the Ministry of Transport have predicted the list of busy charging service areas, and guided local governments to formulate targeted safeguard plans to provide convenient and reliable charging services for people to travel.
Second, continue to deepen the pilot application of vehicle-network interaction. Relying on the first batch of pilot projects of vehicle-network interaction, we will continue to explore the way to promote marketization, guide local governments to improve price incentive policies, organize enterprises to study and formulate technical standards, increase the construction and transformation of reverse discharge equipment, carry out large-scale measured applications, constantly tap the interactive potential between electric vehicle and power grid, and realize technological innovation and mode mechanism.
Third, strengthen the guidance on the construction of charging facilities for electric heavy trucks. Faced with the explosive growth of electric heavy trucks, we should strengthen analysis and research, focus on the prediction of charging demand for electric heavy trucks and the analysis of power grid carrying capacity, carry out the construction of zero-carbon highway transport corridors in conjunction with relevant departments, and guide power grid enterprises to carry out the construction and transformation of distribution networks in advance. With
the May Day holiday approaching, we will guide all localities to update the old charging facilities in stock, add temporary charging equipment, send additional personnel on duty, do a good job of equipment maintenance in advance, and use the information platform to strengthen monitoring, so as to ensure the orderly, safe, reliable, standardized and efficient operation of charging services during the May Day holiday. At the same time, we will focus on application scenarios such as heavy truck charging, further promote the expansion of charging facilities, improve quality and efficiency, and support the green and low-carbon transformation of transportation energy with high-quality charging facilities network. That's all for my introduction. Thank you.
[Zhang Xing, Deputy Director of the General Affairs Department] Thank you, Deputy Director Liu Mingyang. Now let's begin to ask questions. Please ask questions around the content of today's press conference. When asking questions, please first report to the news organization you represent.
[Daily Economic News Reporter] We are concerned about the electricity consumption data released by the National Energy Administration two days ago. From January to March, the electricity consumption of the whole society increased by 5.1% year-on-year. From January to March, the total electricity consumption of the whole society in China reached 2514.1 billion kWh, an increase of 5% year-on-year. The electricity consumption of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries and residents was 33.6 billion kWh, 1598.7 billion kWh, 483.3 billion kWh and 398.5 billion kWh, respectively, with a year-on-year increase of 7.1%, 4.7%, 8.1% and 3. It can be seen that the electricity consumption of the secondary industry increased steadily, while that of the tertiary industry increased rapidly. Specifically, it has the following characteristics.
First, the electricity consumption of high-tech and equipment manufacturing industry has maintained a relatively rapid growth momentum. From January to March, the electricity consumption reached 274.6 billion kWh, an increase of 8% over the same period last year. Among them, the electricity consumption of nine sub-industries all achieved positive growth, and the electricity consumption of electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing industry, computer/communication and other electronic equipment manufacturing industry, and instrument manufacturing industry all achieved double-digit growth. In addition, the electricity consumption of consumer goods manufacturing industry increased steadily, reaching 144.6 billion kWh, an increase of 5.4% over the same period last year, an increase of 4 over the same period last year.
Second, the electricity consumption of charging service industry and artificial intelligence industry increased strongly. The vigorous development of the new energy automobile industry has led to a strong growth in the electricity consumption of the charging and replacement service industry, which reached 37.6 billion kWh from January to March, an increase of 53.8% over the same period last year. 13. The artificial intelligence industry continued to develop at a high speed, and the electricity consumption of the Internet data service industry reached 22.9 billion kWh from January to March, an increase of 44.0% over the same period last year. Compared with the same period last year, the growth rate of charging and switching services and Internet data services increased the total electricity consumption of the whole society by 0.
Regionally, the growth rate of electricity consumption in Xizang, Hainan, Jilin, Guangxi and Xinjiang was higher, reaching 13.5%, 9.1%, 8.9%, 8.9% and 8.1% respectively; Shaanxi, Chongqing, Shanxi, Liaoning, Heilongjiang and other five provinces (cities) have a relatively low growth rate of electricity consumption, which is 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.9%, 2.4% and 2 respectively. That's all for my answer. Thank you! What are the characteristics of the green certificate market in the first quarter of this year? In view of the problems that enterprises'purchasing willingness needs to be improved, what considerations does the State Energy Administration have in improving the green certificate system and enhancing the vitality of the green certificate market? In the first quarter of this year, China's green certificate market continued its good rise since 2025, showing the distinct characteristics of stable issuance, prosperous trading and rising prices. First, the supply of green certificates remains high. In the first quarter, 698 million green certificates were issued nationwide, of which 504 million were tradable green certificates, accounting for 72. The monthly automatic issuance mechanism operated efficiently, centralized projects should be issued as much as possible, and distributed projects continued to speed up, providing sufficient and stable supply of green certificates for the market.
Second, the scale of transactions has reached a new high. In the first quarter, 240 million green certificates were traded nationwide, an increase of 21.19% over the same period last year, of which 1.
Third, the value of green certificates was significantly different. In the first quarter, the average transaction price of green certificates was 5.13 yuan/unit, an increase of 2.17 times compared with the same period last year. Among them, the average price of green certificates for electricity consumption in 2024, 2025 and 2026 was 1.51 yuan/unit, 5.71 yuan/unit and 7 yuan respectively.
As for your concern about stimulating market vitality, this is also the focus of our work. At present, China's green certificate system has entered a new stage of development, but there are still some problems to be solved. For example, the relative momentum of green certificate consumption in China is insufficient, and the green environmental value of renewable energy has not been fully reflected; the convergence path of green certificate and carbon emission accounting is not clear enough, and enterprises lack a clear expectation of the demand space for green certificate; the voice of international rules is not enough, and the international recognition of green certificate needs to be further improved.
Faced with these challenges, we will work together from multiple dimensions of mechanism, demand, standards and certification, "up and down" to open up the channel of market-oriented transformation mechanism of green environmental value, "left and right" to open up the difficulties of coordination betw een green certificates and other systems, "inside and outside" to open up the blockage points of international mutual recognition of relevant standards, and systematically improve the green certificate market. To expand the application of green electricity in an all-round and deep-seated way with greater efforts.
Next, we will focus on the following work. First, improve the market trading mechanism. We will continue to improve the price formation mechanism of green certificates, study and formulate the price index of green certificates and publish it to the public in a timely manner, so as to stabilize the expectations of enterprises on the price of green certificates.
The second is to strengthen the coordination of mechanisms.Guidelines for non-fossil energy and electricity consumption accounting were issued to clarify the specific methods for incorporating green certificates into carbon emission control and carbon emission accounting, so that green certificates could become the basic accounting tool for carbon emission reduction of industrial enterprises.
Third, expand the scale of green certificate consumption. We will implement the requirements of the Energy Law of the People's Republic of China, establish a target system for the minimum proportion of renewable energy consumption, and guide more key energy-using industries to play a leading role in green power consumption. Promote "green car charging green electricity" and residential green electricity retail packages to create a good atmosphere for active green consumption in the whole society.
The four is to build a certification mechanism and standard system. Establish a green power consumption certification mechanism, expand the acceptance and application of certification results, and issue authoritative "report cards" and "certification letters" for the green power consumption behavior of energy-using units. Accelerate the construction of green power consumption standard system, actively promote the internationalization of China's standards, transform the scale and technological advantages of China's renewable energy into the voice of international rules, and make China's green certificate a "passport" for enterprises to enter the international market. This is the end of my answer, thank you! The National Energy Administration, in combination with the formulation of the 15th Five-Year Plan for Electric Power, adheres to the principle of "a national chess game", optimizes the power supply, regulatory resources, grid structure and power flow, speeds up the construction of a unified national power market system, promotes the integrated development of "new energy + energy storage + grid + market", and supports the rational consumption of new energy with an average annual increase of more than 200 million kilowatts. The next step is to focus on the following four aspects.
First, in terms of new energy planning and layout, we should classify and guide the development and consumption of new energy. We will coordinate the delivery and local consumption of the "Shagehuang" new energy base, optimize the integrated development and consumption of water, wind and solar bases, promote the standardized and orderly development and consumption of offshore wind power, scientifically and efficiently promote the development and consumption of centralized new energy in the province, and actively expand the development and consumption space of distributed new energy.
Second, in terms of regulation capacity building such as energy storage, we should comprehensively promote the capacity building of all kinds of regulating power sources, energy storage and user side regulation. We will carry out hydropower expansion and upgrading, transform and upgrade the new generation of coal-fired power, moderately build peak-shaving gas and electricity, scientifically lay out new energy storage, promote the construction of pumped storage projects in an orderly manner, and rely on virtual power plants and vehicle-network interaction to improve load-side regulation capacity. By the end of 2025, there were 470 virtual power plant projects in China, an increase of nearly 200 over the previous year, and the maximum regulation capacity tested reached 16.85 million kilowatts, an increase of about 70% over the previous year.
Thirdly, in the construction of new power grid, we should speed up the construction of a new power grid platform with micro-coordination of main distribution. We will optimize the flow of electricity across the country and steadily increase the scale of trans-provincial and trans-regional transmission channels. We will accelerate the construction of new energy delivery channels from Gansu to Zhejiang and other "Shage wasteland" new energy bases. We should strengthen the construction of the main grid and vigorously enhance the ability of flexible mutual aid. We will continue to promote the construction of new distribution systems and comprehensively enhance their ability to accept distributed new energy and adapt to the development of new formats. Develop smart micro-grid according to local conditions, enhance self-balancing and self-regulation capabilities, and promote new energy consumption nearby.
Fourthly, in the construction of electricity market, we should speed up the construction of market and price mechanism adapted to the high proportion of new energy development. We will improve the market convergence mechanism for medium and long-term, spot and ancillary services, shorten the trading cycle, rationally expand the scale of inter-provincial market-oriented power transmission, and accelerate the integration of new energy bases to participate in the market.
In the near future, we are studying and formulating a work plan for new energy consumption in 2026, comprehensively implementing new energy consumption and regulatory policies and measures, coordinating the implementation of all parties, and ensuring the stable consumption and utilization of new energy in the whole country, especially in the key areas of the western region. That's all for my answer. Thank you.
China Securities Journal: As the summer peak season is approaching, can we predict the power supply and demand situation in China this summer? What measures will be taken this year to keep the bottom line of power security? According to the forecast of the meteorological department, the spatial distribution of precipitation in China this summer is uneven, the temperature in most areas is higher than that in the same period of the year, and there are periodic high temperature heat waves in East, Central and South China, which may promote the rapid release of air conditioning refrigeration load.
Considering China's economic growth trend, meteorological conditions and other factors, as well as the possible impact of the external environment, it is estimated that the electricity consumption of the whole society will continue to exceed 10 trillion kilowatt-hours in 2026, an increase of about 500 billion kilowatt-hours over the previous year, and maintain a steady growth trend as a whole. It is estimated that the national maximum power load in 2026 will be
15.2026 during the summer peak period. It is estimated that the national power supply and demand will be balanced, and there will be tight supply during peak hours in some provinces in East China, Central China and South China, which can be basically eliminated through inter-provincial and inter-regional mutual aid. The power supply and demand in North China and Northeast China are balanced, and the power supply and demand in Northwest China are more than enough. In case of large-scale extreme weather or shortage of primary energy supply, supply and demand may be tight during peak hours in individual provinces, and a series of comprehensive measures can be taken to ensure the safe and reliable supply of energy and electricity.
The State Energy Administration will conscientiously implement the spirit of the instructions and instructions of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on power supply guarantee, keep a close eye on the key time points of summer peak, continuously improve the monitoring and reporting mechanism of daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly information, and focus on strengthening the daily monitoring and quarterly research and judgment of the national power supply and demand situation, and rolling research and judgment of external factors on China's fuel supply. Strengthen the analysis of the supply and demand situation of primary energy, finely regulate the total amount of gas for power generation, and monitor the construction of coal-fired power on a monthly basis to ensure that the summer peak is not affected. At the same time, we should consolidate the responsibilities of local and central enterprises, organize relevant local and enterprises to carry out the analysis of the situation of power supply and demand in summer and the study of measures to guarantee power supply, give full play to the role of large power grids, large channels and large markets, make full use of the power transmission capacity of cross-provincial and cross-regional channels and the surplus power resources of various regions, and stagger the time and peak to carry out market-oriented transactions between provinces. Do a good job in ensuring power supply. That's all for my answer. Thank you.
Economic Information Daily: As I mentioned in my introduction just now, the energy crisis triggered by the recent war in the Middle East has affected many countries. What is the current supply guarantee of oil and gas resources in China? Since the 14th Five-Year Plan, we have adhered to the new strategy of energy security as a guide, proceeded from strategic thinking and systematic thinking, based on the national conditions of the world's major energy producers, consumers and importers, made overall use of the "two markets and two resources" at home and abroad, actively promoted the high-quality development of the oil and gas industry, and ensured the safe supply capacity under various circumstances.
The first is to vigorously enhance oil and gas exploration and development efforts, steadily increase domestic oil and gas production, crude oil production continued to maintain an annual output of more than 200 million tons and a new high, natural gas production increased by more than 10 billion cubic meters for nine consecutive years.
The second is to accelerate the planning and construction of oil and gas infrastructure, with the mileage of long-distance oil and gas pipelines exceeding 200,000 kilometers, the "national oil and gas network" further expanding, and the total receiving capacity of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exceeding 1.
The third is to continue to consolidate and improve the construction of diversified oil and gas import system. At present, we have carried out oil and gas trade cooperation with nearly 50 countries around the world, and the import sources cover the world's major oil and gas exporting countries, and we have always maintained stable and reliable imports of oil and gas resources. In addition, we continue to carry out reliable and orderly substitution of oil and gas consumption. With the joint support and promotion of the above work, the resilience and flexibility of China's oil and gas industry to cope with risks and challenges have been continuously enhanced. Since
this year, the State Development and Reform Commission and the State Energy Administration have earnestly implemented the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, actively responded to the challenges of changes in the external environment in conjunction with relevant parties, and made every effort to ensure the smooth and orderly supply of oil and gas through stable production, diversified imports and temporary price regulation. It has effectively guaranteed the smooth operation of the economy and the needs of people's livelihood. According to industry monitoring, from January to March, China's crude oil output reached 54.8 million tons, an increase of 1.3% over the same period last year; crude oil imports reached 146.83 million tons, an increase of 8.9% over the same period last year; Crude oil processing capacity is expected to reach 181.7 million tons, an increase of 3.
[Financial Magazine reporter] At present, with the substantial increase in AI computing power, data center electricity consumption is rising rapidly, how will China cope with the energy challenges brought by AI expansion in the future? Promote stable, green and low-cost "computing synergy"? At present, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence in China, the demand for computing power keeps growing at a high speed. In 2026, the Report on the Work of the Government put forward the idea of "creating a new form of intelligent economy", "implementing new infrastructure projects such as super-large-scale intelligent computing cluster and computing power collaboration", and as a key factor of production, the energy demand of computing power is constituting a new growth point of electricity consumption. Since
the 14th Five-Year Plan, China has launched the project of "East Digital West Computing" in an all-round way, guiding the rational distribution of computing power facilities to new energy resource-rich areas, orderly guiding the demand for computing power from the east to the w est, and building a two-way collaborative system of collaborative planning, layout and dispatching operation of computing power network and power network. Especially in recent years, combined with the construction of new power systems, we will work with relevant departments to accelerate the coordinated development of computing and electricity.
The first is to issue the Action Plan for Accelerating the Construction of New Power Systems (2024-2027), which will continue to promote the coordination of computing and electricity as a key task in the action of improving the friendly performance of new energy systems. The second is to issue the Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Absorption and Regulation of New Energy, which proposes to strengthen the coordinated planning, layout and optimal operation of new energy and computing facilities, and promote the green development of computing facilities. The third is to issue the Notice on Organizing the First Batch of Pilot Projects for the Construction of New Power Systems, select seven directions to carry out pilot projects, clearly list the coordination of computing and electricity as one of the pilot directions, and rely on pilot projects to explore and apply new technologies and mechanisms. At present, the first batch of pilot lists have been released.
"Computing power collaboration" is in the initial stage of development, and various regions actively carry out the exploration of computing power collaboration according to local conditions and the characteristics of computing power facilities, and gradually accumulate experience, laying the foundation for the scale and industrialization development of computing power collaboration in the "15th Five-Year Plan". At present, in new energy-rich areas such as Inner Mongolia and Gansu, the "green content" of computing power is also increasing year by year through the construction of https://www.databm. many areas with abundant solar, wind and hydropower resources. In Qinghai, the computing power center can adjust the time period of power consumption to the time when the green power output is the highest through the computing power collaborative dispatching platform; in Guizhou, there are more than 50 clean energy power plants within 200 kilometers of some computing power centers, and the green power is flowing to the data center.
Next, we will base ourselves on our work responsibilities, implement the relevant deployment of Report on the Work of the Government, formulate and implement high-quality power planning, improve the direct connection of green power and other related policies, promote the implementation of pilot projects, and promote the coordinated development of computing power system and energy and power. The first is to promote the coordinated development of computing and electricity in combination with power planning. High-quality formulation and implementation of the "15th Five-Year Plan" for the construction of new power systems, taking "power computing synergy" as a key task to promote the coordinated and integrated development of power and related industries, and making relevant deployments and arrangements for it. Enhance the ability of power supply guarantee, incorporate computing facilities into the key areas of power supply guarantee, and meet the needs of highly reliable power supply. In the areas where the national hub and green power resources are well developed, the power load characteristics and green power resource characteristics of different business types of computing facilities, such as general computing, intelligent computing and supercomputing, are coordinated to plan and lay out computing power and power projects, so as to improve the matching degree of project coordinated operation. Strengthen the construction of smart grid, improve the two-way dispatching mechanism of computing power and power, and enhance the level of source-load interaction.
The second is to improve the policy measures to promote the coordination of computing and electricity, such as the direct connection of green electricity. Relying on computing power facilities, we will develop the green power aggregation supply mode of new energy nearby power supply, aggregation transaction and local consumption, support the development of new formats such as green power direct connection, integration of source, network, load and storage, and smart micro-grid, further improve technical and economic norms, optimize policy mechanisms, enhance the proportion of green power consumption of computing power facilities, and synchronously promote the local consumption of new energy.
The three is to promote the implementation of the pilot project of power coordination. We will organize and implement pilot projects to enhance the capacity of new power system construction, actively explore the joint prediction of computing power load and new energy power, flexible control of computing power load and intelligent dispatch, improve the level of computing power coordination, and make timely summaries to play a leading role in the pilot projects. That's all for my answer. Thank you.
[Xinhua News Agency] What role has Green Power Direct played in cracking new energy consumption and reducing the cost of energy consumption for enterprises? At present, what stage is the direct connection of green power in China? What are the key arrangements for policy, pilot and landing in the next step? In May 2025, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration jointly issued the Notice on Promoting the Development of Green Power Direct Connection in an Orderly Way to support new energy power generation to directly supply users "point-to-point" through direct connection lines. Over the past year, green power direct connection has achieved phased results in three aspects: in terms of solving the problem of new energy consumption, green power direct connection has created a new mode of new energy consumption in addition to long-distance power transmission in large power grids, and expanded the new space for new energy development and utilization. In terms of reducing the energy cost of enterprises, green power direct connection has formed a systematic cost reduction path by smoothing physical channels, optimizing pricing methods and guiding load regulation, thus improving the economy of energy consumption of enterprises. In promoting the green transformation of the consumer side, we should achieve a clear physical traceability of green electricity, tailor a "green passport" for export enterprises, and drive enterprises to transition from a "single cost reduction" to a green competitiveness track.
At present, 24 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) have issued or formulated supporting policies for green power direct connection, and 99 green power direct connection projects have been approved, corresponding to a total installed capacity of 34.05 million kilowatts of new energy. Recently, on the basis of the single-user green power direct connection policy, we have studied and formulated the multi-user green power direct connection policy, allowing new energy to directly supply green power to multiple users through special lines, promoting industrial parks and zero-carbon parks to accelerate the realization of clean energy substitution, and promoting the wider consumption of new energy. Relevant policies will be released in the near future. Welcome to pay attention to the report.
In the next step, we will continue to strengthen policy publicity, guide local governments to optimize project planning, approval, filing and other processes, track some projects with good conditions of new energy resources and strong load regulation capacity, create "model projects", form replicable and popularizable experiences and practices, and play a demonstration effect. That's all for my answer, thank you! As we all know, March is the traditional off-season of coal consumption, but since April this year, affected by the situation in the Middle East, international coal prices have risen rapidly, and the four major international coal indices have risen against the trend, with the largest increase of 20%.
We will continue to track and analyze the impact of the situation in the Middle East on China's coal market and energy security and supply, keep a close eye on the changing trend of key indicators such as coal production, import and demand, and work with relevant parties to do a good job in stabilizing coal production, supply and price, so as to give full play to the role of coal in the energy supply system.
From January to March, the output of raw coal in China reached 1.2 billion tons, an increase of 0. In March, the medium and long-term contract price of 5500 kcal steam coal in Qinhuangdao Port was 682 yuan/ton, up 2 yuan/ton from February, which stabilized the basic supply of electricity coal in China. The spot price of 5500 kcal steam coal in the ports around Bohai Sea is 753 yuan/ton, up 28 yuan/ton from the end of February, or 3.
Since April, the average daily dispatching output of coal in China has been at a high level of more than 12.5 million tons. The data on April 23 show that the coal storage in power plants in China has reached 1. My answer is here. Thank you all! Since the issuance of Document No.40, the National Energy Administration has deepened reform and innovation, insisted on broadening investment channels, improving incentive mechanisms, optimizing business environment, and promoting the development and growth of private economy in the energy sector. In the first two months of this year, the investment in key projects of private enterprises in the energy sector increased by more than 10% year-on-year, and the private economy has become an important force in ensuring energy security and promoting low-carbon transformation.
First, major projects "open the door" and private enterprises "drive into the fast lane" from bystanders. We will deepen the market-oriented reform of competitive links and build a long-term mechanism for private enterprises to participate in nuclear power, hydropower and other projects. In terms of nuclear power, 20 private enterprises have been introduced to participate in 12 nuclear power projects, with a total investment of more than 55 billion yuan, and the share ratio of private enterprises has increased from 2% to 20%; In terms of hydropower, Dadu River Danba (with a total investment of 16.8 billion yuan) and Lancang River Banda Hydropower Station (with a total investment of 23.492 billion yuan) were approved, with private enterprises participating in 10% and 11% respectively; In terms of coal, private enterprises are supported to engage in coal resources exploration, mining, coal mine management and intelligent construction in various forms. Since April 2025, four large-scale modern private coal mines have been approved, with an additional capacity of 17.5 million tons per year and a total investment of about 176.
Second, new formats and new models are developing vigorously. Private enterprises have gone from exploring the way to leading "running out of acceleration". The construction of new energy system has been accelerated, which has led to the continuous expansion of the investment scope of private enterprises. In terms of charging facilities, there are 9 private enterprises among the top 10 charging operation enterprises in China, and the market share of the three leading private enterprises has reached 47.
Third, the investment environment has been continuously optimized, and private enterprises have been "reassured" from being able to invest to being willing to invest. Over the past year, we have lowered the threshold for private enterprises to participate in the whole chain of approval, operation and capital, and cleared the institutional barriers for private enterprises to enter the energy sector. By revising the Measures for the Administration of Licensing for Installation (Repair and Test) of Electric Power Facilities and reducing the level of licensing, as of the first quarter, the proportion of private enterprises in the field of electric power facilities construction has reached 87%, the proportion of business handled by means of notification and commitment has reached nearly 79%, and the rate of approval for licensing has exceeded 99.
Actively respond to the concerns of private enterprises, create a good industry ecology, and stimulate the vitality of private investment in the energy sector. Thank you! Recently, the National Energy Administration also held a symposium on the development of green fuel industry. What has the National Energy Administration done to promote the high-quality development of the green fuel industry, and how will the next step be to cultivate green fuel as a new growth point? Green fuel refers to the fuel that meets the requirements of ecological environment protection and has low carbon emissions in the whole life cycle. Generally speaking, it mainly includes green ammonia, green methanol, fuel ethanol, biodiesel, sustainable aviation fuel, etc. The development of green fuel is of great significance to ensure China's energy security, achieve the goal of "double carbon" and build a new energy system. At present, the situation in the Middle East is turbulent, the international oil and gas market fluctuates sharply, and the urgency of developing green fuels is becoming increasingly prominent. Since
the 14th Five-Year Plan, the State Energy Administration has earnestly implemented the relevant decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and actively planned and promoted the development of green fuel industry. Promote the introduction of a series of support measures to support the development of green fuel industry through industrial policy, financial policy, electricity price policy and other policy tools. We will carry out pilot projects to tackle key technical problems and industrialization of green liquid fuels and hydrogen energy in the field of energy, and promote the first batch of 9 pilot projects on green liquid fuels and 50 pilot projects on hydrogen energy. The pilot work covers 18 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country, covering eight major directions, including both project pilot projects and regional pilot projects, with systematic layout, diversified exploration and regional linkage to guide the healthy development of the industry. In conjunction with relevant ministries and commissions, we will promote the construction of China's green fuel standards and certification system, and promulgate industry standards such as Clean Low Carbon Hydrogen, Green Methanol and Green Synthetic Ammonia.
Through the joint efforts of relevant parties, China has built a total green fuel production capacity of about 8 million tons/year oil equivalent, and related industries have begun to take shape. With the rapid development of China's new energy industry, the cost of green hydrogen production from wind and solar energy has been gradually reduced. China's green fuel has gradually expanded from traditional fuel ethanol and biodiesel to green ammonia, green methanol and sustainable aviation fuel. Among them, green ammonia, green methanol and sustainable aviation fuel production capacity are about 700000 tons per year, 380000 tons per year and 1.7 million tons per year, respectively.
While seeing the development results, we should also clearly realize that the green fuel industry is still in the early stage of development, the scale of production capacity is small, the production cost is high, the relevant technology and equipment need to be innovated and improved, and the application scenarios and domestic and foreign markets need to be further cultivated and expanded.
In the next step, the National Energy Administration will organize the pilot work related to green fuel, strive to break through the bottleneck of key technical equipment, accelerate the establishment of green fuel standards and certification system in line with China's national conditions, gradually cultivate and develop the green fuel market, adjust measures to local conditions and coordinate measures to promote the healthy and orderly development of the green fuel industry. That's all for my answer, thank you!
