TheNational Energy Commission (NEC;Chinese:国家能源委员会;pinyin:Guójiā Néngyuán Wěiyuánhuì) is an interdepartmental coordinating agency of theState Council that coordinates the overall energy policies for thePeople's Republic of China. The body includes 23 members from other agencies such as environment, finance, central bank,National Development and Reform Commission.[1]
The purpose of this new commission is to draft a new energy development strategy, evaluateenergy security and coordinate international cooperation on climate change, carbon reduction andenergy efficiency.[1]
China had a Ministry of Energy established in 1988 but it was disbanded five years after its portfolio overlapped with existing ministries.[2]
In 2003, National Energy Bureau was created under theNational Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) which reports to theChinese State Council, which has broad administrative and planning control over energy in theChinese economy.[3]
In 2008, National Energy Administration (NEA) was established but lacked power to carry out its tasks because the energy sector management was spread between various agencies.[2]
China has experienced power outages, concerns of growing imported energy demands, energy security and challenges coordinating energy supply and demand.[4][5] The NEC was established in 2010 to elevate the role of energy policy and security in Chinese policymaking.[6]
The NEC is the top State Council agency responsible for China's energy policy.[6] It is responsible for energy decision-making, formulating development strategies related to energy, and coordinating domestic energy development as well as international cooperation on energy. The General Office of the NEC is located in theNational Development and Reform Commission, with the NDRC chairman usually serving as the NEC Office director.[6]
The NEC is usually chaired by thepremier, with thefirst-ranking vice premier serving as its vice chairman.[6]
