Jakarta, INTI – China has again shown its seriousness in promoting green energy transformation by involving the private sector more actively. In a circular released by the National Energy Administration (NEA) on Monday, April 28, 2025, the Chinese government announced a number of new policies to accelerate private economic development in the energy sector.
The move is part of a grand strategy towards greener and low-carbon industries, in line with global energy transition targets.
Private Engagement in Strategic Energy Infrastructure
The policy encourages private companies to:
Invest in the construction of hydroelectric power plants, oil and gas storage, and LNG terminals.
Enter into new sectors such as modern energy storage, virtual power plants, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and smart microgrids.
The National Energy Administration (NEA) emphasizes the importance of private involvement in key technological innovations as well as accelerating the digitization and upgrading of smart technology-based energy systems.
Innovation and Efficiency are Key
The government also encourages private companies to:
1.Develop the latest energy technologies and advanced recycling technologies.
2.Develop new business models that can improve resource efficiency.
This step is expected to create a more adaptive, efficient and sustainable energy system.
Broader Market Access & Legal Protection
To ensure a fair and conducive business climate, the NEA also promises:
1.Improved market access and more open allocation of factors of production to the private sector.
2.Simplification of energy investment licensing procedures.
3.Legal protection of the legitimate rights and interests of private companies.
4.Support for expansion into global markets to improve international competitiveness.
Conclusion
This policy marks a significant change in China's approach to the energy sector, which has been dominated by state-owned enterprises. By involving the private sector, China is not only accelerating the transition to green energy, but also creating great opportunities for innovation-based economic growth.
This step can be an inspiring example for other countries, including Indonesia, in designing a more collaborative and inclusive future energy ecosystem.
