Energy saving and new energy automotive industry development plan 2012-2020
…industry, foster new economic growth and support preservation of natural environment. Full transition to pure electric vehicles will be achieved by promotion campaigns of such automobiles, popularization of non-plug-in hybrid vehicles and energy-saving internal combustion engine vehicles.It is estimated that by 2015 total production and sales of pure electric cars and plug-in hybrid vehicles will reach 500,000 and more than 5 million by 2020. By 2020, cars will consume 5 litres/100km of fossil fuels and new energy cars, power cells and key part produced in China will reach an international level of advancement.

Medium and Long Term Development Plan for Renewable Energy
The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued its Medium and Long Term Development Plan for Renewable Energy in September 2007. The Plan establishes targets for the development of various sources of renewable energy up to 2020 calling for the percentage of renewable energy to rise to 10% of total energy consumption by 2010 and 15% by 2020.
An investment of CNY 2 trillion (approximately USD 263 billion) before 2020 on renewable energy development in China is envisaged to reach this goal.
By 2020, the plan calls for the development of a total of:
300 000 MW of hydropower -
