RE prioritization, portfolio standards: 
By 2020, effectively resolve the problem of wind curtailment. [...] ---Combined with the power system reform, urge all local governments to implement the guaranteed buyout of electricity generated by renewable energy resources mechanism in accordance with the "Renewable Energy Law" [...].
Cooperation in RE: 
Taking the opportunity of “Belt and Road” initiative and other bi- multiple cooperation mechanism, Closely integrated with the "one by one" initiative and international multilateral and bilateral cooperation mechanism[...], orderly promote the internationalization of wind power industry. ---Encourage the domestic wind power institutions to actively participate in international standards making and reviewing works. And encourage technical exchanges and cooperation with overseas enterprises and relevant institutions[...]
Environment
Pollution level targets, PM10, PM2.5, SOx, NOx: 
According to calculation and estimation, by 2020, the wind power generation will help achieve an annual reduction of 1.3 million ton SO2 and 1.1 million ton NOx [...]
GHG emissions reduction targets: 
According to calculation and estimation, by 2020, the wind power generation will help achieve an annual reduction[...] of 380 million ton of CO2.
Pollution control action plans: 
In Beijing-Tianjin and Hebei and its surrounding areas, in accordance with air pollution prevention and control work and the target of renewable energy power consumption, carry out regional wind power co-consumption mechanism innovation.[...]
Carbon markets: 
Fully understand the positive impacts of carbon market on wind power and other clean energy industry development, pay attention to carbon asset management work, [...] Improve the construction of green certificate trading platform, to promote the implementation of green power certificate transactions[...].
Green finance: 
Encourage financial institutions to issue green bonds, encourage policy banks to [...]support the wind power industry, commercial banks to promote the project financing model. And encourage the wind power enterprises to use public offering, green bonds, asset securitization, finance leasing, to explore the new financing model.
Pricing
Energy pricing: 
[...]improve the offshore wind power pricing policies[...] ---[...]In accordance with the electricity market reform, improve the price mechanism for the peak and off-peak time electricity prices, and encourage wind power and hydro power to participate in the external power market competition.
Energy Supply and Infrastructure
Energy supply priorities:
