Over the past decade, North China has actively implemented the new energy security strategy and achieved good results.

Local governments have made significant progress in promoting high-quality energy development. Beijing has vigorously implemented energy-saving and carbon-reduction policies, set annual targets for renewable energy consumption ratios, and strongly reduced coal consumption. Tianjin focuses on green development, strengthens clean and efficient use of coal, promotes an increase in net external electricity supply ratio, and supports enterprises in green technology transformation. Hebei Province has proposed building a strong province for new-type energy, continuously optimizing its energy structure and introducing regulations to promote renewable energy development. Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has implemented General Secretary Xi Jinping's requirements during his inspection of Inner Mongolia by vigorously developing green energy and strengthening its status as a national important energy base while ensuring coal supply for over two-thirds of provinces nationwide.

The energy industry has achieved fruitful results in increasing production and ensuring supply. Over the past decade, energy investment in North China has maintained rapid growth, successfully completing the "13th Five-Year" energy plan with steady progress on key projects for the "14th Five-Year" period. The energy structure has been continuously optimized with a significant increase in renewable energy's share. In the power sector, a UHV network that accommodates both AC and DC has been established in the region with significantly improved grid adjustment capabilities. The construction of distribution networks has accelerated to meet basic requirements for clean heating and distributed energy access. Installed power generation capacity has exceeded 640 million kilowatts with renewable energy accounting for 43.7%, expected to surpass 50% by the end of this year. In oil and gas sectors, pipelines such as the Shaanxi-Beijing Fourth Line and China-Russia East Line have been put into operation; LNG storage and transportation facilities in Tianjin and Tangshan have been continuously improved; and a natural gas supply system is being rapidly constructed. In coal sectors, Inner Mongolia has increased coal production significantly, accounting for one-quarter of national output while effectively ensuring coal supply for over two-thirds of provinces nationwide.

New breakthroughs have been made in energy regulation work. Energy regulatory agencies have shouldered their responsibilities for ensuring supply while adhering to goals for green development and shared benefits. They have strengthened institutional supply while integrating regulation into service to promote green development through market-oriented means while effectively serving grassroots needs and public demands. Relying on three platforms—a regulatory platform for planning construction, a coordination platform for supply assurance, and an emergency response platform for electricity—efforts have been made to ensure regional energy security. Last year saw a record peak load of 317 million kilowatts in North China without any orderly power cuts occurring within the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan grid despite overall stable supply-demand conditions; active promotion of electricity market construction in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei led to establishing China's first trading mechanism aimed at grid parity renewable energies; implementation of governance concepts around "Four Safeties" successfully completed major power supply tasks during significant events such as national two sessions and Belt and Road Forum; systematic efforts were made to address frequent power outages through innovative initiatives like ten actions to enhance power service quality.
