It is the established goal of the national energy strategy to promote wind-level electricity prices. Since 2017, the National Energy Administration has successively organized the construction of multiple batches of wind-level grid-connected projects. In recent years, the cumulative scale of grid-connected wind power projects has reached 11.217 million kilowatts, equivalent to half of the total installed capacity of the Three Gorges Dam.
In recent years, the scale of China's wind power market has steadily expanded, driving continuous improvement in technology and continuous decline in costs.
The funding gap for subsidies continues to increase, and reducing dependence on subsidies is beneficial to the long-term development of the industry. The relevant person in charge of the New Energy Department of the National Energy Administration said that the average subsidy intensity of newly built onshore wind power has dropped from 0.25 yuan per kilowatt-hour at the highest hour to 0.06 yuan per kilowatt-hour (measured according to the 2019 guidance price).
"Consumption can be said to be a major prerequisite for parity. If there is a curtailment of curtailment, it will directly reduce project benefits and affect the confidence of enterprises in parity." Zhang Zhenwen believes. In 2019, the national average wind curtailment rate was 4%, a year-on-year decrease of 3 percentage points, and continued to achieve a double decline in wind curtailment power and wind curtailment rates, to a certain extent, promoting the enthusiasm of wind power companies to surf the grid at a fair price.
Affordable Internet access is a key step for clean energy such as wind power to move towards mainstream energy
The relevant person in charge of the New Energy Department of the National Energy Administration said that he is currently studying and formulating guidelines on the establishment and improvement of a long-term mechanism for clean energy consumption, which will improve the clean energy development mechanism, improve the power market mechanism, enhance the power system regulation ability, and innovate consumption. Relevant requirements are put forward in respect of the compliance mode and construction of closed-loop supervision system, and specific measures are clarified.
"Strict control of non-technical costs is an important measure to reduce the cost of wind power in the future. The local government regulates reasonable land use and related tax and fee policies, and the perfect grid-connected services of grid companies are the basis for the sustainable and healthy development of the renewable energy industry. Local energy authorities have increased coordination with relevant departments to promote the reduction of non-technical costs. In addition, it is necessary to accelerate the construction of a green energy financial system and effectively reduce the financing threshold and financing costs of wind power projects. "The person in charge of the New Energy Department of the National Energy Administration said.
