The reporter was informed on December 11 from the National Energy Administration that it will vigorously implement the coal power energy saving and emission reduction upgrade and transformation action plan to support the development of new and renewable energy sources in the Yangtze River Delta region. On the basis of the success of the nuclear power demonstration project, actively support the development of nuclear power in the Yangtze River Delta region. The Energy Bureau is working with the Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to formulate preferential policies for clean and efficient power generation.
Li Pumin, a spokesperson for the National Development and Reform Commission, also stated clearly that under the premise of ensuring safety, China will start a number of coastal nuclear power projects. People in the industry believe that the recent restart of domestic nuclear power is expected to continue to strengthen, and nuclear power exports have also made some breakthroughs, and the domestic and foreign trillion markets are expected to start.
According to the Energy Development Strategy Action Plan (2014-2020) (hereinafter referred to as the "Action Plan"), by 2020, coal consumption in the four provinces and cities of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, and Shandong will be reduced by 100 million tons compared with 2012. Regional coal consumption has grown negatively. In order to achieve this goal, the Energy Bureau, on the basis of supporting the provinces (cities) in the Yangtze River Delta region, requires new coal-fired power generation projects to be implemented in strict accordance with energy efficiency and environmental protection access standards. Upgrade and reconstruction of coal-fired generating units.
The meeting pointed out that the average coal consumption for newly-built coal-fired generating units must be less than 300 g of standard coal per kilowatt-hour, and the emissions reach the emission level of gas turbine units; by 2020, the average coal consumption for power-supply after the transformation of active coal-fired generating units is less than 300. The gram standard coal / kWh, the emissions basically reach the emission level of gas turbine units. The Energy Bureau is working with the Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to formulate preferential policies for clean and efficient power generation.
While reducing coal, the Energy Bureau will promote the interconnection of national natural gas pipeline networks and support the use of natural gas imported from Russia and Central Asia in the Yangtze River Delta region. This year, the total planned gas supply to the Yangtze River Delta region is about 34 billion cubic meters. The total planned gas supply from 2015 to 2017 reached 36.5 billion cubic meters, 42.3 billion cubic meters, and 44.6 billion cubic meters, respectively.
Another way to achieve atmospheric pollution control is renewable energy. It is understood that this year the National Energy Administration has issued a total of 2.83 million kilowatts of wind power installed capacity in the Yangtze River Delta region and a total of 3.15 million kilowatts of solar power generation, and has accelerated the development and construction of offshore wind power. From 2014 to 2015, it is planned to build 120 biomass molded fuel boiler heating demonstration projects nationwide, especially in key areas such as the Yangtze River Delta. On the basis of the success of the nuclear power demonstration project, actively support the development of nuclear power in the Yangtze River Delta region.
From the current domestic nuclear power installation and operation situation, there are a total of 20 units in commercial operation, with a total installed capacity of 18.07 million kilowatts, and another 28 nuclear power plants under construction, with a total installed capacity of 30.62 million kilowatts. This is in line with the Action Plan There is still a big gap in the target of 580 million kilowatts in 2020. At the same time, the cumulative nuclear power generation in the third quarter of this year was 37.653 billion kWh, accounting for only 2.59% of the national power generation.
"After the restart of domestic nuclear power projects, the subsequent adjustment of nuclear power installation planning, and the pace of project approval and start-up directly affect the choice of investment targets and space judgments of the nuclear power sector. From the current point of view, in 2014 and 2015, commercial operations were started for nuclear power projects already started. As well as the first peak period of the number of newly started projects, the release of inland nuclear power during the 13th Five-Year Plan will open up growth space and usher in the second peak. "Said Qian Qimin, an analyst at Shenyin Wanguo.
Guo Yanhong, an analyst at Founder Securities, also believes that China has the world's largest installed nuclear power capacity under nuclear power planning. The government clearly requires that the localization rate of equipment in future nuclear power construction should not be less than 85%, and industries such as nuclear island equipment, other equipment and new materials will benefit. .
