To achieve low-carbon and clean transition of the power system while ensuring
safety and stability, large quantities of power, especially renewable power, should be
imported to Beijing, rather than entirely relying on local renewables.
Extraordinary plans should be made to feed green electricity into Beijing, which
might include: step up energy cooperation in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and its
surrounding areas and support the construction of large-scale renewable energy bases
around Beijing; reinforce the building of green electricity transmission lines. By
