Global warming and severe air pollution in China have necessitated a transition to a sustainable energy system that eschews coal-dominated energy production. The implementation of energy policies inevitably affects the behavior of enterprises at the micro level, which in turn affects their financial performance. The purpose of the study is to quantify the trends, patterns and contradictions in China's energy policy, identify and predict meaningful indicators for strategic intentions in the context of economic decarbonisation. Correlation and regression analysis, modelling and forecasting of energy consumption and carbon emission indicators by sector were implemented. The study demonstrates the potential positive effect of a strategy to minimise carbon emissions in the commercial and public services sector in the context of energy policy implementation and decarbonisation on China's economic growth. The results have potentially important policy implications for Chinese policymakers and business leaders and are needed to develop further tools to reduce electricity consumption in the government's Provincial Energy Conservation Goal (BEST) program as indicators of its implementation effectiveness in different provinces of China.

How have 30 years of development in energy and climate policies influenced long-term trends in China and what does this imply for future climate policies? To answer the question, this article examines three decades of energy and climate policies in China. By providing an overarching review, it contributes new and updated research on drivers behind long-term climate policies and whether China's long-term emissions trend can be broken by placing greater emphasis on innovation, technology and low-carbon development. Importantly, it analyses the most recent policy developments in China, such as the likely effects of China's recent 2060 carbon neutrality goal. We conclude that after the Paris Agreement, the biggest policy change has been technological innovation in the power and transport sector. China has prioritized measures, laws and policies for developing renewable energy, especially solar and wind. China has also embraced the 'green growth' approach for responding to the challenges of climate change. These efforts have yielded results, and China has emerged as a world leader in renewable energy. However, there is still a long way to go. The upcoming 14th five-year plan will be critical for accelerating the energy transition, including setting a cap on coal in the national energy-transition strategy.
