Building a large national clean energy base

As a "three bases and one channel" and a large clean energy base planned and constructed by the state, Xinjiang's promotion of high-quality development of the new energy industry is of great practical significance for closely promoting high-quality economic development and serving the overall situation of national development.

What are the characteristics of new energy project construction and promotion in the autonomous region this year? How to balance the quality and efficiency of new energy development and effectively promote the high-quality development of new energy industry? On June 1, at the "Xinjiang promotes high-quality Development" series theme conference held by the Information Office of the Autonomous Region People's Government, the Development and Reform Commission of the autonomous Region, the Energy Bureau and the Xinjiang Regulatory Office of the National Energy Bureau, and the relevant responsible comrades of the State Grid Xinjiang Power Co., Ltd. answered questions from reporters.

Refine and improve supporting policies to promote coordinated development of the system

Q: The construction of new energy projects is related to Xinjiang's green and low-carbon transformation, energy use structure adjustment and industrial development. What are the characteristics of the autonomous region's new energy project construction this year?

A: Since the beginning of this year, on the basis of comprehensively sorting out the implementation of new energy projects, the autonomous region has adhered to target orientation and problem orientation, adhered to system thinking, supported by new loads, focused on local and nearby consumption, and relied on system adjustment capacity. We have studied and formulated policy documents to promote the coordinated development of new energy and related industries, accelerate the high-quality development of pumped storage, establish and improve new energy storage supporting policies, and do a good job in the construction of integration projects of source and network load and storage, so as to promote the coordinated development of the power supply side, the power grid side, the load side, and the regulation side.

First, adhere to the integration of source and load development. We will give full play to the advantages of new energy resources in the region, exchange resources for industries, and promote development with industries. Actively undertake the industrial transfer in central and eastern China, introduce new material industries such as basalt fiber and biomass whisker, focus on high-quality incremental load layout of new energy projects, promote the coupled development of new energy and energy storage, carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS), coal chemical industry, petrochemical industry and other industrial clusters through green electricity substitution, and actively expand the demonstration scale of hydrogen production from new energy. Vigorously cultivate local photovoltaic silicon, wind power and power transmission and transformation equipment and other upstream and downstream industry chains, forming a cycle of load driven power supply, innovation chain driven industry chain mode.

Second, adhere to the synchronous progress of the source network. At present, our district actively strives for the construction of the third channel, the fourth channel, Ruoqiang-Qinghai Huatugou 750 network project, and continuously improves the trans-regional allocation and absorption capacity of new energy at the same time, based on the smooth flow of the power system "capillaries" in Xinjiang, accelerating the construction of 127 220 kV and 110 kV power grid projects, and newly started 70 projects. Actively strengthen the backbone power grid in the region, provide support for the construction of a new power system with new energy as the main body, and strive to meet the demand for load growth and the need for new energy collection and delivery. At the same time, strengthen the reward and punishment mechanism, implement the grid-connected leader plan, make it clear that new energy projects with fast construction progress enjoy the new energy parity online target price policy, and give priority to support grid-connected. Explore a new mode of cooperation between power grid enterprises and social capital, invest in the joint construction of new energy supporting delivery projects, and strive to effectively shorten the construction cycle of the power grid and meet the needs of new energy grid connection.
