Promoting the development and utilization of renewable energy will lay a solid foundation for ecological progress

Huang Xuenong, director of the Power Department of the National Energy Administration, said that it is necessary to combine the conditions of new energy resources in various regions, make full use of the relatively large new energy grid-connected consumption space in the central and eastern regions, and actively promote the local development and utilization of new energy. In the western and northern regions and areas rich in new energy resources, scientific planning and layout of a number of new energy-based power bases and power transmission channels will be carried out to achieve the overall optimal allocation of new energy power.

It provides a strong guarantee for the fight against air pollution and provides strong support for the green and low-carbon energy transformation. China's renewable energy ranks first in the development and utilization scale in the world, and also lays a solid foundation for achieving the goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality.

According to the reporter's understanding, with the large-scale development of renewable energy, China's renewable energy new models and new forms of business continue to emerge. It has created a new path for renewable energy to help poverty alleviation through photovoltaic poverty alleviation, provided successful experience for the cause of global poverty reduction, explored a new model of photovoltaic sand control, and carried out a successful practice of coordinated development of renewable energy and ecological environmental protection. China has promoted new business forms such as complementary agriculture and light, complementary fishing and light, and complementary animal husbandry and light, and is accelerating the deep integration of renewable energy with traditional industries such as construction, transportation, and industry, contributing Chinese wisdom to the innovative development of global renewable energy.

Based on long-term development, we will unleash more potential of renewable energy

During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, China's renewable energy has achieved large-scale development, especially the rapid growth of wind power, photovoltaic power generation and hydropower, which has played a decisive role in the transformation of electricity cleanliness and energy supply.

Data show that in 2020, China's renewable energy generation reached 2.2 trillion KWH, accounting for 29.5% of the whole society's electricity consumption, an increase of 9.5 percentage points over 2012, strongly supporting China's non-fossil energy accounted for 15.9% of primary energy consumption. Meet the solemn commitment of 15% of non-fossil energy consumption by 2020 as scheduled.

By the end of 2020, the total installed capacity of renewable energy power generation in China has reached 930 million kilowatts, accounting for 42.4% of the total installed capacity, an increase of 14.6 percentage points over 2012. Among them: hydropower 370 million kilowatts, wind power 280 million kilowatts, photovoltaic power generation 250 million kilowatts, biomass power generation 29.52 million kilowatts, respectively for 16 consecutive years, 11 years, 6 years and 3 years ranked first in the world.

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's renewable energy development is facing a new situation and new tasks, the boundary conditions of industry development, development logic and development mechanism will undergo a series of major changes, and the "14th Five-Year Plan" renewable energy development will enter a new stage.

"By the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the proportion of renewable energy generation capacity in China's total installed electricity will exceed 50%." Renewable energy will account for about two-thirds of the total increase in electricity consumption and more than 50% of the increase in primary energy consumption." Li Chuangjun, director of the New Energy and renewable Energy Department of the National Energy Administration, said that we will anchor the goal of reaching the peak of carbon and carbon neutrality, give full play to the resource advantages and technological advantages of China's renewable energy, promote the high proportion, high quality, low cost and market-oriented development of renewable energy, and make greater contributions to ensuring energy supply, promoting the green and low-carbon development of energy and realizing the dual-carbon goal.

Ren Yuzhi, deputy director of the New Energy and renewable Energy Department of the National Energy Administration, pointed out that in the future, it is necessary to continuously expand the application scenario and cultivate new industries, new models and new formats of renewable energy. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, emerging renewable energy formats characterized by intelligence, such as smart energy and multi-energy complementarity, will accelerate growth. He said that it is necessary to innovate the development model, promote the construction of new energy microgrids, renewable energy LAN, explore off-grid new energy power generation, and improve the independent development capacity of new energy; It is necessary to explore new forms of business, and promote demonstration projects such as "photovoltaic + solar thermal", photovoltaic sand control, new energy experimental demonstration platform, "new energy + storage", and the integration of new energy and hydrogen energy.
