Abstract:
Xi Jinping's important expositions on the new energy system represent the latest achievements in the Sinicization and modernization of Marxist theory on the relationship between productive forces and nature, forming a theoretically coherent and richly connoted whole. From the perspective of generative logic, these expositions are the product of the convergence of three driving forces: theoretical continuity, historical evolution, and contemporary necessity. The fundamental viewpoints of classical Marxist authors on the relationship between productive forces and nature provide the theoretical starting point; the transformation in China's energy development stages constitutes the historical condition; and the new challenges to energy security in the context of century-long changes form the practical impetus. In terms of core essence, these expositions revolve around the central proposition of "making the new power system the key hub" , first establishing, from a strategic height, the positioning of energy security as a matter of national importance, then clarifying the essential characteristics of the new power system, which is dominated by renewable energy and operates through the coordinated interplay of "source-grid-load-storage" , and finally revealing the systemic reconstruction of the energy system operation logic centered on the new power system. In terms of practical pathways, technological innovation serves as the fundamental driving force, the construction of the new power system is the primary direction, the energy consumption revolution is an important lever, and reforms of the energy system and mechanisms provide institutional guarantees, together forming a complete chain of actions from driving forces to pathways to institutional arrangements..
