One of its key elements is the energy sector, without which the development of the Middle Kingdom would not be so impressive. Large scale of economy, however, combine large-scale energy challenges. To be able to compete effectively in global markets, need to meet them. These conditions mean that the Chinese energy policy becomes an issue worthy of attention. Indicated problems I discuss in my article. I present it in several dimensions, referring in general terms to energy policy and economic planning, including its Chinese characteristics. Against this background, I refer to energy policy in China, presenting it in the context of the most recent Five-year Guidelines. In the next part of the article I refer to same energetics, describing it in this broken down by sector. Summarize my essay, I undertake a trial of the designation the directions of the energy sector develop in PRC and assessing the Chinese actions in relation to the energy sector.
