The acceleration of distributed energy resources and carbon pricing policies have compelled utilities to act and to prioritize carbon-constrained infrastructure augmentation in their capital programs. To implement various carbon emission reduction policies, power system transmission planning has become more challenging. The existing energy system will face massive retirement of coal-fired power plants (CFPPs), large scale integration of renewable energy and network expansion. In this paper, an electricity network planning and transformation roadmap, which has two milestones, is put forward. In the first stage, a mathematical model is proposed based on the average cost of carbon emission reduction to realize the cooperation of CFPPs retirement and renewable energy investment. It can help the network carry out the transition from a fossil-fuel dominated system to a low-carbon oriented system. Because of the promising prospect of power-to-gas (P2G) technology, in the second milestone, a method based on carbon emission flow (CEF) is employed to help the power-to-gas stations (P2GSes) to select the construction site and capacity. The gas network constraints are modeled to guarantee that P2GSes can work smoothly without energy flow congestion in both electricity and gas networks. According to the simulation results in case studies, our method can reach the emission reduction target more economically and effectively, and the P2GSes can produce and absorb clean energy.
