The coal power upsurge in 2021 may raise the concern that China faces more challenges on peaking its national carbon emissions before 2030. However the breakdown of electricity consumption may suggest that the downturn of economic growth, low urbanization and aging population will reduce the power demand in the near future. In addition, the slower infrastructure construction and the electrification of road transport sector may boost higher share of electricity in tertiary sector and residential area. REEI's researchers argue that peaking before 2030 might be not a big issue but achieving carbon neutral goal by the middle of this century could pose challenges.
