[National Energy Administration: Accelerating the Construction of Large-Scale Wind and PV Base Projects]
Recently, the National Energy Administration held a monthly (July) video conference on the development and construction of renewable energy power nationwide. The meeting emphasized the need to solidly advance the expansion of green electricity consumption and promote the integration of new energy into the power grid. Local energy authorities must fully implement the requirements of the "Implementation Measures for the Minimum Proportion Target of Renewable Energy Consumption and the Renewable Energy Electricity Consumption Responsibility Weight System." They should collaborate with departments such as the MIIT, Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and Ministry of Transport to formulate consumption implementation plans, ensure key energy-consuming industries in their regions meet consumption targets, strengthen monitoring, assessment, and policy dissemination, clarify green consumption responsibilities, and balance basic, economic, and strategic considerations. This includes aligning project returns with system operation costs and scientifically setting new energy utilization rate targets. The focus should remain on large power grid integration while promoting green electricity direct connection, generation-grid-load-storage integration, and non-electric and non-grid consumption methods tailored to local conditions. Multiple measures should be adopted to enhance new energy consumption levels. All units must accelerate the construction of large-scale wind and PV base projects while comprehensively advancing the development of offshore wind, onshore centralized wind and PV, solar thermal, and distributed new energy projects. Early-stage work should be expedited to facilitate timely commencement and tangible progress.
