Report and Workshop on Corporate Green Power Practices in China

Ea Energy Analyses, together with Chinese and Danish partners, has contributed to a new report under the Sino-Danish Green Power Cooperation Programme, providing insights into corporate green power consumption. The report is available in both English and Chinese.

The report was discussed at a workshop in Beijing on 15 April 2026, which brought together policymakers, companies, and industry experts to exchange perspectives on corporate green power consumption practices and market development.

Titled “Analysis of Corporate Green Power Consumption Practices,” the report reviews recent developments in green power frameworks in China and Denmark and highlights practical experiences from Tencent, LONGi, LEGO, and Danfoss. It covers key approaches such as green power procurement, energy efficiency improvements, distributed solar PV, and long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs).

The report identifies several challenges faced by companies, including cost pressures, business growth constraints, and difficulties in reducing supply chain emissions. It also outlines potential solutions, such as improving cost mechanisms for green power consumption, strengthening the combined role of energy efficiency and renewable energy, and enhancing supply chain collaboration.

Discussions at the workshop confirmed that China’s green power market is entering a new phase. While policy frameworks and market structures are largely in place, the focus is increasingly shifting towards effective implementation, particularly the development of credible pricing mechanisms and improved system integration.

A key takeaway from both the report and the workshop discussions is that corporate demand, especially from energy-intensive sectors such as data centres, is becoming a central driver of the green transition. At the same time, companies are increasingly viewing green power not only as a compliance requirement, but as a source of long-term competitiveness.
