context: The meeting emphasised NEA remains committed to a clean and low-carbon energy system. But it also underscores the importance of reconciling energy transition and supply stability. How regulators intend to address such a dilemma is crucial for pollution reduction and climate mitigation, and will continue to dominate the 14th 5-year energy plan debate.
At the NEA (National Energy Administration) 2020 national energy work conference on 16 Dec 2019, Zhang Jianhua 章建华 NEA director emphasised
