The invention discloses a method for managing electric energy substitution planning. According to the method, on the basis of combing and summarization of previous electric energy substitution work performances, successful experiences, current situations of China's energy supply and consumption, the actual development situation of the electric energy substitution technique, and economic and policysupport conditions, research analyses on the theoretical potential, technical feasibility potential, environment-protection feasibility potential, and economical feasibility potential of the electricenergy substitution are carried out based on different calibers in construction, industry, transportation, agriculture, and household fields by combining various provinces and cities and conclusionsare collected step by step. With the method for managing electric energy substitution planning, the electric energy substitution planning can be carried out scientifically; the electric energy substitution potential analysis is carried out; an electric energy substitution planning principle, an objective, and a key task are proposed; and the reference is provided for the related interested party for investment.
