China’s government has released a draft of its 15th Five-Year Plan, outlining economic and energy priorities for the period 2026-2030 and reaffirming support for the continued expansion of nuclear power as part of the country’s long-term energy strategy.

The draft plan was presented to China’s National People’s Congress and is expected to be debated and approved later this year before taking effect in 2026. Five-year plans are the country’s main policy framework guiding economic and industrial development.
