The Committee’s main responsibility relies on planning for the nation’s energy development strategy, making research of important issues concerning energy security in process of growth and coordinating important matters involving world co-ops. Li Keqiang has been nominated as the deputy leader to enhance the work.
Relative experts say the high level of organization structure suggests the joint-efforts made to solve a session of questions in energy development like coal, electricity, oil, including the reform of electric price, the use of renewable energy, and marketization of finished oil.
Specialist Niu Li says the key-point of the Committee is to make up strategic plan for energy development and to coordinate international co-ops and important issues like climate change, while all levels of energy department will be in charge of specific daily works.
