Chinese planners will abandon their previous practice of issuing separate five-year plans for different forms of new energy in favor of a joint package on renewables, with a stronger emphasis on solar power, an energy official said Thursday.
The draft plan, which has not been released and has yet to be submitted for review, focuses on building a new electricity system with new energy power at its foundation, said Kong Tao of the National Energy Administration (NEA) in a speech to a photovoltaic industry conference.
