China's National Energy Administration on Tuesday released guidelines to accelerate the development of clean energy bases in Southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, a move to promote a high-quality energy development in the region.

The guidelines were issued to lead the work during the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) period as well as the medium- and long-term energy development in Xizang region.

Since the sixth central symposium on Xizang region-related work held in 2015, the Xizang Autonomous Region has made all-round progress and historic achievements in its energy sector. A comprehensive energy supply mechanism consisting of renewable energy and refined oil products has been shaped, but the problem of imbalance and inadequacy remains prominent, the document noted. 

The guidelines further state that a medium- and long-term goal of development will be covered, from the establishment of a resource supply mechanism, set up clean energy bases, improve energy infrastructure and service support capacity, among other aspects.
