The approval aims to vigorously step up the energy transition from fossil fuels to new and renewable energy sources, thus easing environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and realizing commitments to the Nationally Determined Contributions and the 2050 net-zero target.

Regarding renewable energy sources serving exports, the roadmap identifies the central and southern regions as potential areas, with export scales ranging from 5,000 MW to 10,000 MW for feasible projects.

It also outlines specific lists of important transmission grid projects, prioritizing investment in interconnected grids with neighboring countries.

In terms of building the industrial and service ecosystem for renewable energy, the roadmap envisions researching and building two interregional industrial and service center's for renewable energy by 2030.
