Why does the country advocate saving electricity?

At present, the resource consumption of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas (non-renewable) still occupies the main position in China. As a commodity, electric power is obtained by the transformation of the above resources by the power industry, especially in North China and Central China. For sustainable development, the state must advocate saving electricity, implement "power transmission from the west to the east", and use more hydropower and wind power for the west.
