Recently, favorable policies for renewable energy have been released intensively. On June 1, the “14th Five-Year Plan for Renewable Energy Development” (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”) jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, the National Energy Administration, the Ministry of Finance and other nine departments was announced, specifying the “14th Five-Year Plan”. During the period, the main direction and goals of renewable energy development, and focus on solving difficult problems in the industry.
Renewable energy includes hydro, wind, solar, geothermal, etc. Taking into account factors such as technological maturity, resource conditions, construction cycle and economics, photovoltaic power generation will provoke the growth of renewable energy power generation during the “14th Five-Year Plan”.
According to the requirement that the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption should reach about 20% in 2025, the “Plan” proposes the development goal of renewable energy: in 2025, the total consumption of new energy will reach about 1 billion tons of coal; in 2025, the power generation of new energy will be Reach 3.3 trillion kilowatt-hours; during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, new energy will account for more than 50% of the increase in primary energy consumption, and renewable energy power generation will account for more than 50% of the electricity consumption of the whole society; Wind and solar power generation will double. This means that renewable energy will become the main body of energy and electricity consumption.
According to the “Planning”, the development of renewable energy in the “14th Five-Year Plan” will present new characteristics.
The first is to develop on a large scale, and further accelerate the increase in the proportion of power generation installed capacity.
The second is high-proportion development, and the proportion of energy and power consumption in the energy and power consumption has increased rapidly.
The third is market-oriented development, shifting from policy-driven to market-driven.
Fourth, high-quality development to ensure stable and reliable power supply.
According to data from the National Energy Administration, as of the end of 2020, the cumulative installed capacity of wind power and photovoltaic power generation nationwide has reached 530 million kilowatts. Based on this calculation, the newly installed capacity of wind power and photovoltaic power generation during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period will be at least 670 million kilowatts.
The plan states
1. Innovate new energy development and utilization models, accelerate the construction of large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases focusing on deserts, Gobi, and desert areas, promote the integrated development of new energy development and utilization and rural revitalization, promote the application of new energy in the industrial and construction fields, and guide the whole country. The society consumes green electricity such as new energy.
2. Accelerate the construction of a new power system that adapts to the gradual increase in the proportion of new energy, focus on improving the ability of the distribution network to accept distributed new energy, and steadily promote the participation of new energy in electricity market transactions.
3. Deepen the reform of “delegating power, delegating power, delegating power, delegating power, delegating power, delegating power and serving” in the field of new energy, continuously improving the efficiency of project approval, optimizing the process of connecting new energy projects to the grid, and improving the public service system related to new energy.
4. Support and guide the healthy and orderly development of the new energy industry, promote technological innovation and industrial upgrading, ensure the security of the industrial chain and supply chain, and improve the internationalization level of the new energy industry.
5. Guarantee reasonable space requirements for new energy development, improve land use control rules for new energy projects, and improve the utilization efficiency of land and space resources.
6. Give full play to the ecological and environmental protection benefits of new energy, and scientifically evaluate the ecological and environmental impacts and benefits of new energy projects.
7. Improve fiscal and financial policies to support the development of new energy, and enrich green financial products and services.
The “Plan” emphasizes that the development of renewable energy should be optimized by regional layout, supported by major bases, led by demonstration projects, and implemented by action plans. , deepening international cooperation and other five aspects of development measures.
Relevant industries welcome major benefits again
Photovoltaic and wind power are the main force in the development of renewable energy. The “Plan” clearly proposes to accelerate the construction of new energy bases on seven continents, including the upper reaches of the Yellow River, the Hexi Corridor, the Jizibend of the Yellow River, northern Hebei, Songliao, Xinjiang, and the lower reaches of the Yellow River, focusing on deserts, Gobi and desert areas.
The industry believes that after the release of relevant documents, the land use of centralized photovoltaic power generation systems, the demand for distributed wind power photovoltaics, and the approval speed of related projects will be substantially guaranteed and improved. Therefore, it will greatly stimulate the development of related industries.
