CCTV news: The 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference opened in Shanghai yesterday (17th). At the "Two-way Empowerment of Artificial Intelligence and Energy" sub-forum, the person in charge of the National Energy Administration revealed that my country will accelerate the construction of a new energy system and give green wings to the development of artificial intelligence.
It is understood that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the inference load will exceed the previous training load and become the main consumption of computing power.Characteristics such as delay sensitivity, large load fluctuations, and concentrated demand require computing and power collaboration to shift from "spatial collaboration" to "multi-dimensional collaboration" between computing load and new power systems. The integrated layout of core elements such as intelligent computing power, large models, and corpus resources must be promoted as a whole.
At present, the computing power industry has become a new engine driving the growth of electricity consumption in the whole society.In 2025, the electricity consumption of my country's computing power facilities will reach 170 billion kilowatt-hours, a year-on-year increase of approximately 30%, accounting for approximately 1.6% of the total electricity consumption in society, and is expected to account for 6% by 2030.As of the end of June this year, China's cumulative power generation installed capacity exceeded the 4 billion kilowatt mark, of which renewable energy installed capacity exceeded 2.4 billion kilowatts, continuing to rank first in the world.
Wang Hongzhi, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the National Energy Administration, said that nearly four out of every ten kilowatt-hours of electricity consumed by the whole society is green electricity.The supply of green electricity is sufficient and of high quality, promoting green computing power from concept to practice, from laboratories to application scenarios, making the best use of every kilowatt hour of electricity, and making every token go green.
