Zhangjiakou built demonstration area to promote energy

Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, which is more than 200 kilometers away from Beijing, will push energy into depth. Renewable energy such as wind power and photovoltaic will replace the existing energy-based energy structure and deliver electricity to Beijing, Tianjin and other regions. Drive the transformation of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei energy structure and control air pollution.

The National Development and Reform Commission held a press conference on the 29th, saying that the State Council recently approved the establishment of the Zhangjiakou Renewable Energy Demonstration Zone in Hebei Province. This means that Zhangjiakou will carry out a lively experiment of "energy **" through pioneering and testing, take the lead in breaking the barriers of the system, and explore new models and mechanisms for the development of renewable energy.

Since the new century, the development and utilization of renewable energy has become a common choice for energy security in all countries, responding to climate change, and promoting low-carbon, green, and sustainable development. However, with the rapid development of renewable energy in China, there are still some institutional and institutional barriers to the construction of energy infrastructure, business models, etc. It is imperative to explore new developments in the marketization of renewable energy by conducting pilots and innovation demonstrations in local regions. mechanism.

Located in the northwest of Hebei Province, Zhangjiakou is one of the regions with the most abundant wind energy and solar energy resources in North China. The amount of wind energy resources that can be exploited is more than 40 million kilowatts, and the amount of solar power that can be developed is more than 30 million kilowatts. Chicheng, Huailai and other counties Geothermal resources are abundant and annual production of various biomass resources reaches more than 2 million tons.

As an important ecological conservation area in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and an important renewable energy production base and power transmission channel node in China, Zhangjiakou has been vigorously developing the renewable energy industry in recent years. It owns the “National Research Center for Wind and Natural Reserves” and the nation’s first wind power research. The monitoring and testing bases, as well as wind turbine assembly and blade manufacturing companies, initially formed a relatively complete industrial system covering development and application, equipment manufacturing, technology research and development, and technical services.

At the same time, local governments are also faced with constraints such as inadequate market mechanisms, inadequate accommodation capacity, and lack of innovative capacity.

In 2014, the total installed capacity of renewable energy in Zhangjiakou was approximately 7 million kilowatts, but the maximum load on the grid in the region was only 1.85 million kilowatts. The external transport capacity of renewable energy was less than 4 million kilowatts, and renewable energy power generation was severely limited. Taking into account that Zhangjiakou's renewable energy development potential exceeds 50 million kilowatts, there is an urgent need for external transportation channels and capacity building.

In view of this, the Zhangjiakou Renewable Energy Demonstration Zone will focus on promoting institutional mechanisms, business models, and technological innovation. We will establish a new type of planning management system, a power market system, a regional integration development mechanism, and a benefit compensation mechanism adapted to the large-scale integration of renewable energy into the power system.

Among them, in order to solve the problems of restricting the current abandonment of wind, abandoning light, limiting electricity, and lack of renewable energy trading mechanisms, we will focus on the reform of the electricity price system including power generation, electricity use, transmission and distribution, and encourage enterprises to invest in a mixed ownership system. Local smart grid construction, perfecting the power transmission mechanism across provinces, regions, and cities in the demonstration area, and transmitting power to the Jing-Jin-Ji region.

According to the plan, by 2020, 55% of the electricity consumption in Zhangjiakou will come from renewable energy sources. All urban public transport, 40% of urban residents' energy use, 50% of commercial and public buildings will use renewable energy, and 40% of industries. Enterprises achieve zero carbon emissions. By 2030, 80% of the electricity consumption will come from renewable energy, and an energy security system based on renewable energy will be fully formed.

According to Guo Junfeng, deputy director of the Zhangjiakou City Development and Reform Commission, the large-scale development and application of renewable energy will drive the development of emerging industries such as local smart grids, new energy vehicles, new materials and modern service industries, and promote economic transformation and green and low-carbon development. Zhangjiakou will increase its output to Beijing and Tianjin while expanding its local renewable energy absorption capacity and adjusting its economic structure.

The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is one of the major power load centers in China. In 2014, the total electricity consumption of the entire society was about 500 billion kwh, of which fossil fuel power accounted for more than 90%. According to the general requirements of the State Council’s Action Plan for Air Pollution Prevention and Control, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region must achieve a negative growth in total coal consumption, and the urgent need for renewable energy development in the future will provide a huge market space.

Guo Junfeng said that at present, the construction of renewable energy projects in Zhangjiakou is gaining momentum, among which there are more than 80 projects under construction and preparation for wind power. At present, Zhangjiakou is working on interpreting plans and formulating a three-year plan of action.
