BEIJING, Dec 31 (Reuters) – China will boost investment in its power grid to build a system that can absorb more new energy power, according to government guidance on high-quality grid development published Wednesday.<\/p>\n

China aims to establish a new grid system to support a west-to-east power transmission program exceeding 420 gigawatts by 2030, according to the guidance issued by the National Energy Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission.<\/p>\n

The program will include about 40 GW of additional interprovincial balancing capacity, with new energy – which includes various forms of energy beyond traditional sources – reaching about 30% of total power output.<\/p>\n

The guidance also warns against over-building and encourages private capital to participate in grid investment and construction.<\/p>\n
