Overview
This grant will allow the Energy Foundation's China program to develop strategies, make grants, and monitor and evaluate progress developing media narratives and social media that support the low carbon development goals of the Chinese government. The grant will also be used to support better integration of water and energy planning. The grant will support better planning around water resources used for the production of thermal power. This could limit the expansion of coal fired power stations in regions that cannot support further development. The planning process could also promote the sustainable use of hydro pumped storage power to integrate wind and solar into the Chinese electricity grid.
