Recently, Ding Xuexiang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, conducted field inspections in Beijing, Hebei, and Inner Mongolia to assess the development of the computing power network. He emphasized the need to thoroughly implement the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping and, in accordance with the strategic plan outlined in the 15th Five-Year Plan, strengthen top-level design and scientific planning, advance the construction of a nationally integrated computing power network, and promote its intensive and efficient utilization, thereby empowering high-quality economic and social development. He stated that computing power is a key indicator of a country’s overall national strength, and that it must be planned and built in a coordinated and orderly manner, with a strong focus on matching supply and demand and coordinating computing and energy resources, so as to accelerate the establishment of a unified national network.

On April 28, the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council issued an announcement on the implementation of zero-tariff measures for African countries that have diplomatic relations with China. The announcement specifies that, from May 1, 2026, to April 30, 2028, zero tariffs will be applied to 20 African countries that have diplomatic ties with China and are not classified as least developed countries. According to the annex, battery materials such as spodumene, natural graphite, lithium hydroxide, lithium carbonates, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium hexafluorophosphate, and battery separators, as well as all-vanadium redox flow batteries and their required vanadium pentoxide raw materials, along with photovoltaic and wind power generation equipment, inverters, transformers, and other related products, are all included in the duty-free list.

On April 22, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the “Opinions on Doing a Better Job in Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction at a Higher Level and with Higher Quality,” which explicitly states: reasonably control the scale of coal-fired power capacity and generation output; vigorously develop non-fossil energy sources and new forms of energy storage; accelerate the construction of a new-type power system; scientifically plan pumped-storage hydropower projects; innovatively develop business models such as direct green-power supply and smart microgrids; promote the consumption of green electricity; and ensure that newly added clean-energy generation gradually meets the entire society’s incremental electricity demand. At the same time, efforts should be made to improve energy-production efficiency by promoting the adoption of advanced technologies and equipment for the efficient extraction of fossil fuels, strengthening energy-saving and carbon-reduction upgrades as well as flexibility upgrades for coal-fired power plants, rationally determining the dispatch sequence and peak-shaving depth for coal-fired units, continuously enhancing the efficiency of wind and solar power generation and the energy-conversion efficiency of energy-storage systems, and steadily reducing the overall transmission and distribution losses of the power grid.

On March 24, 2026, the National Energy Administration issued the “Guidance on the Approval of Standards Projects for the Energy Sector in 2026.” Annex 1, the List of Priority Areas for the Approval of Standards Projects in the Energy Sector in 2026, identifies six specialized areas: power system safety and stability, demand-side management, electricity markets and power supply services, new energy storage technologies, and hydrogen energy. The new energy storage category encompasses electrochemical energy storage, compressed air energy storage, flywheel energy storage, energy storage equipment, and intelligent operation of new energy storage systems. The power system safety and stability category includes power system planning and design, operational control, fault prevention, grid–source coordination, safe production, risk management, safety assessment, as well as power system regulation capabilities, grid-forming technologies, and power reliability management.

On February 11, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Implementation Opinions on Improving the National Unified Electricity Market System." The document proposes establishing a capacity market that provides reliable support for the development of regulating power sources, further refining the capacity pricing mechanisms for regulating resources such as coal-fired power, pumped storage hydro, and new energy storage technologies, and studying the provision of compensation for system’s reliable capacity based on unified standards. Regions meeting the conditions are encouraged to explore forming capacity prices through competitive bidding, thereby ensuring long-term sufficient system reliability through market-based approaches.

On January 30, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the "Notice on Improving the Capacity Pricing Mechanism on the Generation Side." The document clearly states: a new, independent capacity pricing mechanism for grid-side novel energy storage systems will be established. For grid-side novel energy storage power stations that serve the safe operation of the power system and do not participate in distributed energy storage, local authorities may provide capacity-based pricing. The level of capacity pricing shall be based on the local coal-fired power capacity pricing standard and adjusted according to peak capacity at a certain ratio (the adjustment ratio is calculated by dividing the continuous discharge duration at full power by the longest annual net-load peak duration, with a maximum cap of 1). The specific capacity pricing level will also take into account factors such as the progress of electricity market development and the demand of the power system. Grid-side novel energy storage power stations will be managed under a roster system; detailed management requirements will be specified separately by the National Energy Administration based on analyses of the power supply-demand situation and measures to ensure supply security. The specific project roster will be formulated jointly by the provincial-level energy authorities and price authorities.

On January 9, 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and four other departments jointly issued the "Guidelines for the Construction and Application of Industrial Green Microgrids (2026–2030)." The document explicitly states: Strengthen cost-benefit analyses of industrial green microgrids, actively encourage social capital to participate in project construction, and continuously optimize investment structures and operational models. Actively explore diversified revenue channels such as ancillary services in the electricity market, green power trading, and electric energy trading, thereby shortening the investment payback period and preventing inefficient and redundant construction.
