Xie Zhenhua, Deputy Director of the NDRC, stated at a State Council Information Office press conference that non-fossil energy sources should be vigorously developed; these mainly include nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar power.

Xie Zhenhua pointed out that China's nuclear power under construction is the largest in the world. From 2007 to the end of last year, China's total installed hydropower capacity doubled, total installed wind power capacity increased by 60 times, and installed photovoltaic power generation capacity increased by 280 times. According to data released by the United Nations, China accounts for 24% of the global renewable energy installed capacity, indicating a rapid growth rate. Last year, China accounted for 37% of the global increase in renewable energy, demonstrating that China's efforts and speed in energy conservation, energy structure adjustment, and renewable energy development are very fast.

Xie Zhenhua emphasized that efforts will continue to strive for a 45% reduction in carbon intensity by 2020, reflecting China's strength and determination.
