As a large coal province, Shanxi has been identified as a pilot province for comprehensive reform of the national energy revolution in 2019. On May 15, the State New Office held a series of themed press conferences on "Promoting high-quality development". Wu Wei, Standing Committee member of the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee and Executive Vice governor, said that Shanxi is striving to build a pilot zone for comprehensive reform of the national energy revolution. "We must take concrete actions, not be the boss of coal, and bravely become the vanguard of the energy revolution."

Shanxi Province has issued the country's first local regulations on the clean and efficient use of coal, made all-out efforts to tackle key energy technologies, actively promoted new green, low-carbon and energy-saving technologies, and accelerated the formation of a new model of energy consumption.
