　　Energy is the foundation and driving force of economic and social development, and is crucial to the prosperity and development of the country, the improvement of people's lives and the long-term stability of society.

　　Recently, the General Office of the State Council forwarded the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the High-quality Development of New Energy in the New Era" issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration, specifying 21 measures in seven aspects.

What signals do these deployments send?

How can the new energy industry benefit?

The reporter interviewed the National Energy Administration and authoritative experts for interpretation.

In the development and utilization mode, adhere to both distributed and centralized

　　By the end of 2021, the installed capacity of new energy power generation in my country is about 700 million kilowatts, and the installed capacity of wind power and photovoltaic power generation will reach 328 million and 306 million kilowatts respectively, ranking first in the world.

The annual power generation of wind power and solar energy reached 978.5 billion kWh, accounting for the first time that the proportion of electricity consumption in the whole society exceeded 10%, reaching 11.7%.

　　The plan aims to anchor the total installed capacity of wind power and solar power in my country to reach more than 1.2 billion kilowatts by 2030, and accelerate the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system.

　　The main person in charge of the New Energy Department of the National Energy Administration said that in terms of new energy development and utilization, the plan clearly adheres to both distributed and centralized, and highlights model and institutional innovation. Participate in and share development:

　　——Accelerate the construction of large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases focusing on desert, Gobi and desert areas;

　　——Intensify efforts to support farmers to use their own building roofs to build household photovoltaics, and actively promote the development of rural decentralized wind power;

　　- Accelerate the development of new energy projects such as distributed photovoltaics and decentralized wind power in qualified industrial enterprises and industrial parks, and actively promote model innovations such as industrial green microgrids, integration of source-grid-load-storage, and new energy direct power supply;

　　—— Carry out green power trading pilots, and promote green power to be prioritized in terms of trading organization, power grid dispatch, and price formation mechanism.

Accelerate the construction of a new power system

　　"In the long run, realizing the large-scale and high-quality development of new energy and building a new power system with a gradually increasing proportion of new energy is a complex system engineering, and one of the core tasks is to accelerate the effective and reliable replacement of fossil energy by new energy. " said Du Zhongming, president of the Electric Power Planning and Design Institute.

　　The plan makes systematic arrangements for the innovation of planning concepts, the configuration of hardware facilities, the transformation of operating methods, and the innovation of systems and mechanisms.

　　First, through the system optimization of the time-space layout and construction of the source network, load storage, and construction, comprehensively improve the adjustment ability and flexibility of the power system, continue to improve the overall ability of the power system to accept new energy, and continuously increase the ability of the distribution network to accept distributed new energy.

　　The second is to promote the adoption of distributed new energy in the distribution network. Power grid companies should strengthen the planning, design, and operation methods of active distribution networks, increase investment in construction and transformation, improve the intelligence level of distribution networks, and reasonably determine the distribution network. Requirements for the proportion of distributed new energy sources connected to the network.

In addition, relevant enterprises will be encouraged to explore and carry out demonstration projects of DC distribution grids adapted to the access of distributed new energy sources.

　　The third is to steadily promote the participation of new energy in power market transactions. The design of power market rules should fully consider the characteristics of new energy. The core is to ensure that new energy participating in the market can have clear investment return expectations and to ensure the enthusiasm of the new energy industry to invest.

Encourage the signing of long-term electricity purchase and sale agreements, and encourage new energy projects to participate in electricity market transactions in the form of contracts for difference in the pilot areas of the electricity spot market.

　　The fourth is to strengthen the implementation of the renewable energy power consumption responsibility weight system in terms of policy mechanisms. The consumption responsibility weight at the national level increases year by year, and the responsibility weight of the provincial governments and market entities that bear the consumption responsibility weight increases or maintains year by year, and gradually shrinks. The gap in the weight of responsibility for consumption between regions reflects the concept of sharing responsibility for new energy consumption.

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the newly added renewable energy power consumption in each region will not be included in the assessment of the total local energy consumption.

In terms of project construction, management procedures will be simplified

　　New energy projects are multi-faceted, small in scale, and short in construction period.

In the construction and management of new energy projects, the plan calls for simplifying management procedures, improving service levels, and proposes three new measures.

　　——Improve the efficiency of project approval, simplify project management procedures, improve the investment approval (recording) system for new energy projects, and promote the adjustment of wind power projects from the approval system to the recordation system, with new energy as the main body. For integrated energy projects such as power grids, the approval (recording) procedures can be handled as a whole.

In terms of supervision, continue to strengthen the supervision of the whole chain and all fields before and after the event.

　　——Optimize the grid connection process of new energy projects. Power grid companies should establish a one-stop service platform for new energy projects, update and provide relevant information in a timely manner, including available access points, accessible capacity, technical specifications, etc. The entire process of connecting energy projects to the grid is handled online.

　　—— Improve the public service system, improve the new energy public service system in terms of national new energy resource exploration, data sharing, testing and certification, etc., and promote the joint development of new energy by the whole society.

　　Du Zhongming said that from the perspective of top-level design, the plan gives an all-round three-dimensional blueprint for the sustainable and high-quality development of new energy in my country. Specific policy measures are put forward in seven aspects, including healthy and orderly development, ensuring reasonable space needs, giving full play to the benefits of ecological and environmental protection, and improving fiscal and financial policies, which will break through the "blocking points" that hinder the healthy development of new energy and accelerate the effective replacement of new energy. , to create a favorable development environment for new energy to support the construction of an energy powerhouse and promote the energy revolution.
