  • Solar power;
  • Hydropower;
  • Nuclear power;
  • Generation-grid-load-storage integration.

Key measures include:

  • Expanding onshore wind and solar power development on a larger scale;
  • Accelerating construction of the Beibu Gulf Offshore Wind Power Base;
  • Promoting distributed wind and solar projects for local consumption;
  • Advancing nuclear power development in a safe and orderly manner;
  • Constructing clean coal-fired power plants with supporting and balancing functions.

Guangxi will also:

  • Accelerate pumped-storage hydropower development;
  • Promote integrated hydropower-wind-solar development in major river basins;
  • Develop new energy storage technologies in a prudent manner;
  • Accelerate the deployment of smart grids and microgrids.

The region will further:

  • Promote biomass energy development;
  • Advance the large-scale utilization of green hydrogen, green ammonia, and green methanol;
  • Expand exploration and development of offshore oil and gas resources and onshore shale gas;
  • Increase reserves and production of coal, oil, and natural gas resources where appropriate.

To strengthen regional energy security, Guangxi will:

  • Expand interprovincial and cross-regional electricity interconnection projects;
  • Actively participate in cross-border energy cooperation;
  • Continue improving urban and rural energy infrastructure.

Section 2: Advancing Energy Innovation and Governance

Guangxi will vigorously promote the application of energy-related scientific and technological innovation.

The region will encourage the coordinated development of the energy sector with the modern industrial system and cultivate industrial clusters in areas such as:

  • Wind power;
  • Solar energy;
  • New energy materials;
  • Hydrogen energy;
  • Nuclear energy;
  • Integrated energy services.

At the same time, Guangxi will:

  • Promote local consumption of renewable energy;
  • Enhance regulatory, market access, and safety governance capabilities;
  • Improve the digitalization of energy sector management;
  • Deepen reforms of energy institutions and market mechanisms.

Hainan Province

Chapter 11: Strategically Planning the “Four New” Future Industries

Section 2: Promoting Integrated Hydrogen Energy Development

Hainan will strengthen its hydrogen industry's innovation capabilities and continue advancing breakthroughs in key core technologies across the entire hydrogen value chain, including production, storage, transportation, and utilization.

The province will systematically promote:

  • Research and development of key hydrogen products and major technologies;
  • Pilot-scale testing and commercialization;
  • Engineering applications and industrial deployment.

To expand clean and low-carbon hydrogen supply, Hainan will develop hydrogen production pathways tailored to local conditions, including:

  • Renewable-powered hydrogen production using offshore wind power, nuclear energy, and solar photovoltaic resources;
  • Large-scale biomass-based hydrogen production;
  • Water electrolysis hydrogen production.

The province will also promote the integrated development of electricity, hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol (Power-to-Hydrogen-Ammonia-Methanol integration).

Expanding Hydrogen Application Scenarios

Hainan will continue broadening the application of hydrogen energy across multiple sectors by:

  • Optimizing hydrogen supply and refueling infrastructure;
  • Promoting the use of hydrogen in heavy-duty trucks and logistics transportation;
  • Advancing the orderly demonstration and deployment of fuel cell vehicles.

Through these measures, Hainan aims to establish a more complete hydrogen industry ecosystem and accelerate the commercialization of hydrogen technologies as part of its future-oriented industrial development strategy.
