China News Service Xining, January 31 (Li Jiangning) "In 2020, Qinghai Province will generate 84.7 billion kWh of clean energy power generation, an increase of 8.7% year-on-year, and clean energy power generation accounts for 89% of the total power generation. From an environmental perspective, 84.7 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity is equivalent to replacing 38.11 million tons of raw coal and promoting emission reduction of 62.68 million tons of carbon dioxide.” On the 31st, Fang Baomin, director of the Power Dispatching Control Center of State Grid Qinghai Electric Power Company, was in news from the 6th meeting of the 13th National People’s Congress of Qinghai Speaking at the press conference.

　　Qinghai has a "rich, abundant water and good wind", with unique advantages in resource endowments, especially solar and hydropower resources.

Qinghai Province is located in the middle and high latitudes. Its solar energy resources are second only to Tibet, ranking second in the country, hydropower resources ranking fifth in the country, wind energy resources are relatively rich, and it is in my country's Category IV wind area.

　　In 2020, Qinghai Province will continue to demonstrate and lead in green development, and fully build two tens of millions of kilowatts of renewable energy bases, creating a new situation in energy development.

　　According to reports, as of the end of 2020, the total installed capacity of Qinghai Power Grid was 40.3 million kilowatts.

Among them, clean energy installed capacity accounted for more than 90%, and new energy installed capacity accounted for more than 60%. Qinghai Power Grid has become the provincial power grid with the highest proportion of clean energy and new energy installed capacity in the country.

At the same time, the completion of the world's first UHV channel dedicated to clean energy delivery, "Qingyu DC", has become a typical practice for the country to build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system during the 13th Five-Year Plan.

　　Fang Baomin said at the meeting that in 2020, with the increase in the scale of new energy installations, the output of new energy power generation will increase correspondingly, which will promote domestic consumption in Qinghai Province and provide strong support for stable power supply.

In December 2020, the single-day power generation of Qinghai New Energy hit a record high twice and exceeded 50% of the entire network's daily power consumption for the first time.

　　At the same time, in 2020, Qinghai Power Grid will further optimize the unified dispatching of the entire network, and continue to improve the grid's absorption capacity by taking multiple measures to consume clean energy.

Open up green channels and efficiently serve new energy projects connected to the grid for power generation, and the scale of new energy grid connection has reached a record high.

Implement the multi-energy coordinated control of wind, light, water, and fire in Qinghai Province, realize the comprehensive perception and integration of "network source load storage" multi-dimensional grid operation information, and strongly support the real-time complementary dispatch of clean energy, and the auxiliary decision-making of the advanced configuration of new energy. Improve the level of new energy consumption; rationally arrange maintenance plans to increase the utilization rate of new energy delivery sections to 98% to achieve the maximum delivery of new energy.

　　"Entering the '14th Five-Year Plan', under the guidance of the national'dual carbon' goal, State Grid Qinghai Power will lead the construction of a new national energy industry base with grid development and technological innovation, and continuously improve Qinghai's ability to transform energy resources into economic advantages. Support Qinghai to take the lead in achieving carbon peaks and serve the implementation of Qinghai's strategy of "one excellence and two highs"." Fang Baomin said.
