Abstract: Realization of carbon peak and carbon neutrality is an extensive and profound economic and social revolution. As one of China’s main carbon-emitting sectors, the electric power industry will gradually become the critical decarbonization pivot in the shifting process of carbon emission from other industries. The path for electric power carbon peak and carbon neutrality is not only related to its own industrial development but also influences fulfillment of the goals nationwide. According to China's multiple strategic deployment, energy is in transition to a new electric power system while the economy is in transition to a new development paradigm and the environment is moving towards carbon peak and carbon neutrality. Significant adjustments in the energy, economic and environmental areas are simultaneously taking place. The study of the carbon peak and carbon neutrality path for electric power industry should be based on the nation’s whole situation. At this background, the “double-triangle” theoretical framework composed of “sustainable development triangle” and "impossible energy trinity" is proposed,and the changes in the relations of decarbonization in the electric power sector with the economic and environmental sectors are analyzed. A number of suggestions are put forward, such as leading the green development of the economy and society with the green development of energy, giving play to the innovation and leading role of the electric power industry, paying attention to the prevention of security risks, adopting the path of reducing emissions first slowly and then quickly, and scientifically allocating carbon budgets.
