Energy projects, infrastructure and market operation
The remit spans power systems and markets, renewable development, coal, oil and gas, energy security and sector regulation, with project authority distributed by type and scale.
01Position in the system
National administration across power, fuels and energy markets
The NEA develops and administers energy policy across electricity, coal, oil and gas, renewables and sector infrastructure. A project may also require NDRC investment procedures, local energy approvals, grid processes and environmental or land permissions.
What it doesDevelops energy strategy, plans, sector policy and standards and administers specified energy projects and sector functions.
When it mattersRelevant to power and renewable projects, energy-market policy, oil and gas, major energy investment approvals and regulated energy infrastructure.
