Inside China’s Energy Fortress

About this episode

The episode discusses China's dual-track energy strategy and its implications for energy security amidst global challenges.

China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030), formalised, inter alia, its "dual-track" energy strategy investing in coal and renewable energy in tandem. How does this approach sit within the country's current energy security landscape? How has the diversification of supply played into China's energy needs and how prepared is China to manage the energy implications of the war in West Asia? To unpack all this and more, join Kripa Koshy (Staff Programme Manager) in conversation with Bhumika Sevkani (Research Analyst, Geostrategy Team). Are you passionate about shaping India's future?
