At the same time, a total of about 1.5 billion square meters of clean energy heating area will be offered to residents, accompanied by 150 billion kilowatt-hours of new electricity replacement, said the guideline.
The energy sector's innovation will be embodied in the trial operation of continuous settlement in the power spot market, the separation of main and auxiliary power grids, and the promotion of energy storage and hydrogen energy technology.
