Promoting the development of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) in new constructions! Chengdu has released the “Implementation Plan for the National Carbon Peak Pilot (Chengdu).”

Recently, the Chengdu Municipal People’s Government issued the Implementation Plan for the National Carbon Peak Pilot Program (Chengdu).

 

The Implementation Plan sets out the overarching objectives: by 2030, energy consumption per unit of regional GDP and carbon dioxide emissions per unit of regional GDP will continue to decline; the competitiveness of green and low‑carbon industries will rank among the top nationwide; enterprises in key sectors of eligible industrial fields will reach national benchmark levels for energy efficiency; green and low‑carbon practices will become a prevailing lifestyle in urban areas; and the policy framework for green, low‑carbon, and circular development will be substantially完善ed. These efforts will ensure the timely achievement of the carbon peak target and provide replicable, scalable models and best practices for similar cities across the country.

 

To achieve this goal, the Implementation Plan outlines 21 tasks across eight key areas, including promoting the clean and efficient use of energy and advancing the optimization and restructuring of the industrial structure. Specifically, these include:

 

• Actively develop and utilize clean energy. Promote the “build wherever feasible” approach for rooftop photovoltaic systems in industrial parks. By 2030, the total installed capacity of renewable energy generation will exceed 1.5 million kilowatts.

 

• Explore the development of low-carbon and zero-carbon industrial parks. By 2030, establish 20 near-zero carbon‑emission parks.

 

• Deeply advance the development of green and low-carbon industries. By 2027, the advanced energy industry will reach a scale of RMB 200 billion.

 

• Build and refine a comprehensive green manufacturing system. By 2030, strive to establish 260 green factories at or above the provincial level.

 

Enhance the green and low-carbon performance of buildings. Optimize energy‑saving and carbon‑reduction design for new constructions, actively promote the application of a suite of standards for building energy efficiency and green buildings, intensify energy‑efficiency retrofits of existing buildings, and advance integrated solar photovoltaic systems in new buildings while installing rooftop solar systems on existing public buildings. By 2030, more than 60% of newly built buildings will be certified as green buildings of a specified star rating; electricity consumption will account for over 65% of total building energy use; and the energy‑efficiency requirements for the building envelope of new public buildings will be met at a rate of 78%.

 

In terms of policy innovation, the Implementation Plan outlines work tasks across four areas, including establishing a dual‑control system for carbon emissions and launching the development of a product carbon‑footprint management framework. Specifically, these tasks encompass exploring the establishment of a dual‑control system for carbon emissions, advancing the construction of a product carbon‑footprint management system, leveraging digital technologies to enhance carbon governance, and refining fiscal, tax, and financial policies.

 

The background to the issuance of this Implementation Plan in Chengdu is as follows:

 

In March 2025, the General Office of the National Development and Reform Commission issued the “List of the Second Batch of National Carbon Peak Pilot Cities” (NDRC General Office [2025] No. 248), designating 27 cities as the second batch of national carbon‑peak pilots, among which Chengdu was included. To advance the pilot program, Chengdu, after systematically assessing carbon emissions and identifying key challenges in energy, industry, urban–rural development, and transportation, formulated this plan in accordance with the requirements of the “National Carbon Peak Pilot Construction Plan” and the “Guidelines for Preparing Carbon Peak Pilot Implementation Plans,” while taking into account Chengdu’s specific circumstances.

 

Achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality is a major strategic decision made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, in light of the overarching domestic and international contexts.
