Extensive power cuts have and are continuing to cripple critical industrial outputs and create instability for the business landscape in China. With increased pressure from authorities to meet targets for energy reduction, the current power shortages experienced across the nation are at the forefront of China’s Carbon neutrality ambitions to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and ultimately achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. Issues are exacerbated by insufficient new energies power supply and surging prices of coal/gas that increase costs for power producers that will likely to persist this coming winter. However, we need to ensure that there is a balance between Energy Security and China’s long term carbon neutrality targets through a more sustainable approach.
