1. Shandong Province: Issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for Energy Development in Shandong Province"

Shandong Province’s total energy development goal by 2025: the total energy consumption is controlled within 454 million tons of standard coal, and the coal consumption is controlled at about 350 million tons. Among them, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption has increased to about 13%, and the proportion of renewable energy power consumption has increased to about 19%.

The plan clearly requires the implementation of renewable energy doubling actions. By 2025, the installed capacity of renewable energy power generation will reach more than 80 million kilowatts, and strive to reach about 90 million kilowatts. In terms of wind power. Take offshore wind power as the main battlefield and actively promote wind power development. Speed up the development of offshore wind power.
