According to China's 13th Five-Year Plan and 13th Five-Year Plan for Energy Development, focusing on constructing the clean, low-carbon, high efficient and safe modern energy system, the plan outlines the hydropower development strategies, main targets and tasks, specifies the aims for hydro power development during 2016-2020.

The Law on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan Related to Energy Saving and Energy Efficiency provides legislative support to energy efficiency improvements along with the Law on Energy Saving and Energy Efficiency.

The 2014-2020 Plan outlines what China hopes to achieve by 2020, including goals relating to greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, climate change adaptability, and a national emissions trading scheme, among others. Of particular note, the 2014-2020 Plan states that by 2020, total GHG emissions from steel and cement sectors should stabilize at 2015 levels. This target, although likely non-binding, is the closest China has come to implementing an absolute emissions cap and could potentially forecast more comprehensive post-2020 measures.

The Plan analyzes the characteristics of energy consumption in China, energy utilization status, main problems existing in energy conservation work, situation and tasks for energy conservation and then put forward directive idea, principles and objectives for energy conservation, key areas for energy conservation, key projects and implementation measures.

The plan clarifies the main objectives and targets for energy conservation and emission reduction, aims at promoting energy efficiency and improving the quality of the ecological environment, emphasizes the supply side reform and innovation. By 2020, the national energy consumption per capita will be 12% lower than that of 2015, and the total energy consumption will be controlled within 5 billion TCE. The plan indicates the energy conservation actions in particular for structural reform, industrial upgrading, pollution emission reduction in industries, agriculture and other fields, circular economy development, energy-saving service and emission reduction service system development, financial supports improvement, etc.

This Law is enacted with a view to promoting energy conservation in the whole society, enhancing energy utilization efficiency, protecting and improving environment, and promoting comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable economic and social development.

This plan mainly focus on transmission and distribution grid networks for hydro power electricity, nuclear power, thermal power, gas power, wind power, solar power and other power electricity. The plan puts emphasis on improving the electricity system structure, optimizing the power distribution, efforts to upgrade the distribution network, enhancing system capacity, improving the efficiency of power systems, efforts to promote system reform and mechanism innovation; speeding up the adjustment and optimization, transformation and upgrading, building clean low-carbon, safe and efficient modern power industry system.

The plan aims at the development in the western region, highlights the concepts of innovation, coordination, green, open, sharing development, according to their comparative advantages, firmly emphasizes the infrastructure development and ecological and environmental protection, in order to enhance the sustainable development support capacity, to comprehensively promote the new urbanization and new industrialization, information technology, agricultural modernization and coordinated development, thus to narrow the regional development gap in China and to achieve a breakthrough in the continuous improvement of people's livelihood, Social harmony. The plan aims at building a well-off society by 2020, sets up specific action plans and indicators for the economic development, natural resources and environmental protection, social development and innovation capacity,etc.

The policy outlines that the grid companies should purchase a certain amount of electricity of renewable energy power, in accordance with the state-determined renewable energy feed-in tariff and the guaranteed buyout number of hours, combined with market competition mechanism, through the implementation of priority power generation system..
