China Plans Blockchain Integration in Unified National Electricity Market by 2030
China's State Council has unveiled ambitious guidelines to establish a unified national electricity market by 2030, with blockchain technology playing a pivotal role. The policy mandates full-chain certification of green electricity production and consumption, leveraging distributed ledger technology for traceability and fraud prevention.
Renewable energy certificates will be digitized and integrated into carbon accounting systems, creating a transparent mechanism for tracking clean power usage. By 2035, the plan envisions complete inter-provincial market integration with standardized pricing—a structural shift that could redefine energy trading across Asia's largest economy.
