Renewable energy capacity surged by 510 gigawatts during the period, accounting for 53% of total power generation expansion. Officials highlighted this as critical progress toward carbon neutrality goals while maintaining industrial competitiveness.
Social Development Priorities
Key welfare improvements include:
