National Energy Administration promotes distributed photovoltaic power generation

The reporter confirmed from the person familiar with the matter that the National Energy Administration held a symposium on photovoltaic power generation companies in Wuxi recently. Wu Xinxiong, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and director of the National Energy Administration, pointed out at the meeting that through market guidance, government and enterprises should work together to expedite the exploration of the development model and business model of distributed photovoltaic power generation. It is reported that distributed generation is expected to become the country's future direction to guide the application of the photovoltaic market.

“Participants of this forum were in addition to the heads of some leading photovoltaic companies in Jiangsu, as well as government departments, power grids, and user organizations. The theme of the conference was 'How to promote the development of the photovoltaic industry'. Information revealed from this meeting Look, the state should take a more encouraging attitude towards distributed generation, said the above sources.

The "Department of Views on Solving the Scale of Photovoltaic Power Generation in 2013 and 2014" issued by the National Energy Administration earlier this month requires that the construction scale of photovoltaic power generation in 2014 should be increased by 20% compared to this year without the occurrence of abandoning light and power cuts. 12GW (Gigawatt). Among them, distributed photovoltaic 8GW, photovoltaic ground power station 4GW.

"This has already hinted at the intention of the Central Government. The distributed promotion efforts are obviously higher than the ground power station, reflecting the major changes in the demand structure of the photovoltaic market in the future," said the above sources.

He told reporters that, relatively speaking, distributed generation is more economical, and it is also the most common practice in Europe and the United States. For Jiangsu and other developed eastern provinces and cities, distributed power generation on the roof of industrial and commercial buildings in many regions has enabled users to access the Internet at a parity level. This is also a great opportunity for distributed generation.

According to him, the peak electricity price in a region of Xuzhou, Jiangsu, reached RMB 1.05/kWh at noon, while the cost of electricity generation at a local distributed power station was only RMB 1/kWh.

“On the other hand, there are many problems with ground-based power plants. One of them is that many western provinces and cities have conditions attached to allowing photovoltaic companies to develop ground-based power plants, such as having to invest in other downstream manufacturing capacity, etc., but in this way, It is meaningless for the country to vigorously promote the optimization of PV production capacity and promote the integration of manufacturing," said the above sources.

In addition, the ground power stations and wind power in many parts of the western region account for a high proportion in the power structure, which means that the comprehensive cost of the local electricity price is relatively higher, and the ability of these regions to bear the price of electricity is often relatively poor. There is a contradiction between the two.

It is reported that Wu Xinxiong made it clear at the meeting that the symposium was to study and solve the practical difficulties encountered in advancing the photovoltaic industry and enable the photovoltaic industry to develop in a healthy and orderly manner in 2014 and in the future. To guide the market, the government and enterprises should work together to speed up the exploration of the development model and business model of distributed photovoltaic power generation.
