description [Introduction] "Carbon peak and neutrality" is an important strategic decision to promote the transformation of China's energy economy and build a community of shared future for mankind. China is a big energy consuming country and the whole society is facing huge challenges under the "carbon peak and neutrality" goal. The realization of the goal requires the guidance of correct theoretical methods and scientific deployment. [Method] For this reason, based on China's energy development situation, the essence of the "carbon peak and neutrality" goal was analyzed, the fundamental way to achieve the goal was given from a macro level, the development trends of power load such as zero-carbon energy power generation load indicators and load demand indicators under the "carbon peak and neutrality" were predicted from the perspective of the energy supply side, and a new concept of "equivalent electric energy substitution" was proposed in this article. [Result] Based on the resource endowments of nuclear energy, hydropower, wind energy, solar energy and other resources, the power structure adjustment scheme under the "carbon peak and neutrality" goal was given, and the system operation characteristics problems caused by the power structure adjustment were analyzed, and measures to solve the problems were provided. [Conclusion] The "carbon peak and neutrality" goal may set off a new generation of energy revolution and a comprehensive industrial revolution. The four main zero-carbon energy resources of water, wind, light, and nuclear can meet the needs of China's sustainable social and economic development, and new energy will usher in an era of rapid development. This article discusses the development trend of future energy from many aspects, and gives constructive opinions on the adjustment of power structure, which has important theoretical guiding significance for the realization of the "carbon peak and neutrality" goal.
