On April 12, the National Energy Administration issued the notice on the *2023 Energy Work Guidelines*.
The Notice points out that great efforts will be made to develop wind power and solar power generation. Promote the grid connection and commissioning of the first batch of large-scale wind and photovoltaic base projects focusing on deserts, gobi, and desertified areas, construct the second and third batches of projects, and actively advance the large-scale development of solar thermal power generation. Steadily build offshore wind power bases and plan to start the construction of offshore photovoltaics. Vigorously promote the construction of distributed onshore wind power and distributed photovoltaic power generation projects. Promote full coverage of green certificate issuance, do a good job in connecting with carbon trading, improve the renewable energy power consumption guarantee mechanism based on green certificates, and scientifically set the consumption responsibility weight for each province (autonomous region, municipality directly under the Central Government). The total installed capacity of wind power and photovoltaics will increase by about 160 million kilowatts throughout the year.
Strengthen energy construction to assist rural revitalization. Continue to implement the rural power grid consolidation and upgrading project, issue the 2023 central budget investment plan for the rural power grid consolidation and upgrading project, focus on remote areas, former contiguous poverty-stricken areas, key counties under assistance, and other areas with weak rural power grids, further fill the gaps in infrastructure, and promote work-for-relief in project construction, appropriately increasing labor remuneration to help people obtain employment. Implement the "Thousands of Towns and Villages Wind-Driving Action" for wind power and the "Thousands of Households Sun-Bathing Action" for photovoltaics, steadily advance the pilot project of county-wide rooftop distributed photovoltaic development, and promote the clean energy consumption in rural areas. Carry out the construction of rural energy revolution pilots to accelerate the clean and low-carbon transformation of rural energy through point-to-area promotion.
Optimize the "quarterly meeting and weekly report" working mechanism such as meetings on power safety risk management and control and weekly risk management and control reports, strengthen the supervision of major safety hazards through listing and supervision, and carry out special supervision on hydropower station dams, offshore wind power construction, etc.
