Abstract: With the continuous development of electric power systems, as the most important secondary energy, electricity has become the main bridge connecting primary energy and users. Under the background of achieving carbon peak by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060 in China, the new energy will develop rapidly. Considering the structural reform of the energy supply side and the sustainable development of the electric energy substitution strategy, and considering the rise of new secondary energy sources such as hydrogen energy, it is necessary to reorganize the position of electric power in the energy field and propose development trend. Considering the development of China’s energy green transformation, and on the basis of analyzing the development history of traditional electric power position, considering China’s future energy development situation, supply side power development, and consumption side electric energy substitution to China’s energy and electric power development, the future development trend and key indicators of electric power in the energy field is proposed.
