Xu Yuming, deputy secretary-general of China Nuclear Energy Industry Association, said at the 11th China Nuclear Energy International Conference on May 21 that 2015 is the key year for China's nuclear power restart. It is expected that 4 to 6 nuclear power units will be approved and will be operational by the end of the year The total installed capacity of the unit will reach 30 million kilowatts.
Xu Yuming said that up to now, China has 52 nuclear power units in operation, under construction and planned construction, of which 23 have been put into operation, with a total installed capacity of 21.4 million kilowatts. China's nuclear power plants are distributed in 8 provinces and 13 nuclear power bases.
According to the plan, by 2020, China's nuclear power installed capacity will reach 58 million kilowatts, and the capacity under construction will exceed 30 million kilowatts.
"This means that by 2020, China will have to build at least 35 million kilowatts of new nuclear power generating units. On average, 5 to 6 units will be started each year, and the annual new investment will be about 100 billion yuan." Xu Yuming said that the future autonomy of nuclear power technology will be The key link for China's nuclear power industry to grow bigger and stronger. Three generations of nuclear power technologies represented by Hualong One, AP1000 and CAP1400 will become the mainstream of China's future large-scale nuclear power development.
Xu Yuming said that with the development of China's urbanization and modernization, it is expected that the electricity consumption of the whole society will double by 2030, and the goal of 20% non-fossil energy in 2020 and peak carbon emissions by 2030 will be achieved It is necessary to vigorously develop low-carbon clean energy including nuclear power.
