The plan proposes that by 2020 the total energy consumption should be controlled within 5 billion tons of coal, during the “13th Five-Year Plan” period, total energy consumption grows by more than 2.5% per year and GDP per unit of energy use should fall by 15%. In order to achieve clean and low-carbon development and to optimize the energy structure, during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, non-fossil energy consumption increase should be more than 15%, natural gas consumption should reach 10%, the proportion of coal consumption fell below 58%.
