Tibet’s water resources are second to none in China. In order to speed up hydropower development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the recently released "The Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for the National Economic and Social Development of the Tibet Autonomous Region and the Outline of Vision Goals for 2035" pointed out:

Speed up the development of hydropower in the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River and the upper reaches of the Jinsha River, and realize the commissioning and operation of the Dagu, Suwalong and Yebatan hydropower stations. Promote the development of hydropower in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, the upper reaches of the Lancang River in Tibet, the Naqu River, and the Yuqu River. Accelerate the construction of clean energy transmission channels in the upper reaches of the Jinsha River (Tibet-Sichuan section), promote the study of clean energy transmission channels in the upper reaches of the Lancang River, promote the interconnection of China-Nepal power grids, improve the backbone of the Tibet power grid, strengthen the interconnection with the southwest power grid, and promote the extension of the main power grid . Promote the construction and transformation of urban power grids, and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of rural power grids. Construct and operate the Qinghai-Tibet oil and gas pipeline and extend it to surrounding key cities and towns, and accelerate the construction of refined oil reserve bases.

Promote structural reforms on the energy supply side, accelerate the large-scale development of clean energy, and form a comprehensive energy system that focuses on clean energy and complements oil and gas and other new energy sources. Improve energy supply and consumption structure, take the development of clean, low-carbon and safe and efficient energy as the main direction of energy structure adjustment, promote electric energy substitution, clean energy electrification, and promote the local consumption of clean energy. Increase the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption, scientifically develop photovoltaics, geothermal, wind power, solar thermal and other new energies, accelerate research and pilot projects of "photovoltaic + energy storage", vigorously promote "water and wind complementary", and promote the development and utilization of clean energy and electrification. In the forefront of the country, a national clean and renewable energy demonstration zone will be built in 2025.

Build a smart energy system, accelerate the advancement of the smart development of the entire energy field and all links, advance the intelligent construction of energy monitoring, dispatch operation and management, coordinate the construction of infrastructure networks such as energy, communications, and transportation, and build energy production, transmission, use, and storage Coordinated development of energy system and integrated and complementary energy Internet. Strengthen the dual control of total energy consumption and intensity, greatly reduce energy consumption intensity, and strictly control the growth rate of total energy consumption. Use energy scientifically and rationally, promote energy conservation in key areas and key links, and vigorously improve energy utilization efficiency. Strengthen energy-saving management of key energy-consuming units, and strengthen energy-saving review and energy-saving supervision of fixed asset investment projects.

Promote the growth and development of the clean energy industry. Accelerate the preparation of comprehensive river basin planning and accelerate the development of clean energy industries based on hydropower and solar energy. By the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the installed capacity of hydropower completed and under construction will exceed 15 million kilowatts, and the development of photovoltaic solar energy will exceed 10 million kilowatts. , Fully promote the development and construction of clean energy bases, and build a national clean energy connection base.

Clean energy industry. Build a national clean and renewable energy utilization demonstration zone and a national clean energy connection base, accelerate the construction of hydropower in the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River and the upper reaches of the Jinsha River, study and promote the development of hydropower in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River and the upper reaches of the Lancang River, and start related projects in due course.
