China News Service, Lanzhou, January 26 (Reporter Ding Si) New models such as "new energy + desert control", "new energy + agriculture and animal husbandry", "new energy + ecological restoration" and "new energy + desert style tourism" are gradually being implemented Rural areas in western China are “accumulating energy and adding value” to rural green development. January 26 this year is the first International Clean Energy Day. New energy has become a hot topic of discussion among representatives of Gansu’s Two Sessions, offering advice and suggestions to solve “growing pains.”

  In recent years, Gansu’s scenery resources have experienced “unlimited scenery”. According to the "Gansu Energy Development Report (2024)" released by the Gansu Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, Gansu's new energy industry has become an important support for economic development and an important traction for industrial construction, driving the development of equipment manufacturing, technology research and development, supporting services and other related industries. , economic, social and ecological benefits are obvious.

  Taking a fancy to Gansu's high-quality wind and light resources and the vast Gobi desert, Jin Ronghua, representative of the Gansu Provincial People's Congress and chairman of Gansu Wuwei Jinyu Haorui Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd., has led a team to build " Jinyu Muguang Complementary Modern Agriculture Park”.

  "Solar photovoltaic panels can block the direct sunlight on the ground and reduce ground water evaporation. We will plant psoma plants under the photovoltaic panels to improve the small environment of the pasture and also have the effect of controlling desertification." Jin Ronghua was interviewed by a reporter from China News Service on the 26th Said that "mu-photon complementary" has achieved most of the self-sufficiency of electricity in the pasture. The team has also developed a black film biogas power generation system for dairy cattle pastures, turning waste into treasure and realizing the utilization of manure resources.

  Jin Ronghua said that the integrated development of the photovoltaic industry and the ecological economy will bring many benefits to the western countryside. Other crops can be planted under photovoltaic panels, and even desert tourism can be innovatively developed, coupled with the cleanup of a large number of photovoltaic panels, etc. , driving surrounding farmers and herdsmen to increase their income and become rich.

  The "new energy +" industry is in full swing, which according to Wang Fangtai, deputy to the Gansu Provincial People's Congress and mayor of Jinchang City, "still needs to be adapted to local conditions." In an interview with a reporter from China News Service, Wang Fangtai said that due to the large differences between regions, different requirements and standards for ecological governance, agricultural development, etc., implementation paths, methods, etc. are also different in various regions. It is recommended to combine local realities and use small-scale Conduct large-scale pilot projects and then gradually promote them to explore unique development models suitable for various regions.

  Wang Fangtai said that in the next step, Jinchang City will comprehensively consider water resources security, land, power grid transmission and consumption and other conditions, coordinate the power supply side, load side, and power grid side, adhere to base-based, large-scale, intensive, and integrated development, and promote Centralized wind and photovoltaic development; scientifically promote rooftop distributed photovoltaics, develop and construct decentralized wind power according to local conditions, gradually develop "new energy +" such as wind power in mining areas and tailings photovoltaics, create wind and photovoltaic projects with a variety of ecological and economic benefits, and build a clean Low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system.

  Wu Shaozhen, an associate researcher at the Gansu Academy of Social Sciences, also suggested that new energy consumption capacity needs to be improved. As new energy construction penetrates into the hinterland of "Shagohuang", the construction scale and operating costs of supporting power grids are rising rapidly. The relationship between large-scale new energy development and power grid security, transmission and consumption, and the orderly guidance of the power market system need to be further improved. Coordination, power grid transmission and distribution capabilities and intelligence level still need to be improved. (over)
