Road to greater green consumption

New plan unveils concrete steps for institutions and individuals alike

China will improve green power consumption in leading private and State-owned companies involved in driving economic growth, according to an implementation plan for promoting green consumption released last month.

Green power refers to power generated from renewable resources.

Local authorities should set a minimum level of green power consumption for energy-intensive enterprises to ensure the use of green energy, according to the plan released by the National Development and Reform Commission, the country's top economic planner.
