China Hydropower Institute: Half of my country's installed power generation capacity will come from renewable energy in 2025

Recently, the China Hydropower and Water Conservancy Planning and Design Institute issued the "China Renewable Energy Development Report 2020"
.

The "Report" predicts that by 2025, renewable energy power generation capacity will account for more than 50% of China's total power generation capacity

At the press conference, Gu Hongbin, deputy dean of the State Hydropower Institute, said that China’s renewable energy will continue to develop rapidly in 2020.

In 2020, China’s newly installed renewable energy power generation capacity will be 139 million kilowatts, especially wind power and photovoltaic power generation, which will add 120 million kilowatts.
A record high; the utilization level continues to improve.

The "Report" pointed out that in 2020, the production and consumption of renewable energy will achieve rapid growth, and the installed capacity and power generation of renewable energy will increase steadily, which will vigorously promote the construction of a clean, low-carbon and efficient energy system
.

In 2020, China's conventional hydropower will be newly commissioned by 12 million kilowatts, and the approved scale of large and medium-sized conventional hydropower stations will be approximately 3.
1 million kilowatts; the newly commissioned pumped storage capacity will be 1.

Regarding the future development of China's renewable energy, the "Report" predicts that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China's new renewable energy power generation capacity will account for more than 70% of the new power generation capacity, and the increase in renewable energy consumption will account for primary energy consumption.

About 50% of the increase

At the same time, the "Report" emphasizes that innovation in the development and utilization of new energy will be more active
.

The modes of agriculture and light complementation, fishery and light complementation, and photovoltaic desertification control will continue to grow.
New energy power generation and information industries such as 5G base stations and big data centers will form integrated development

For different power supply types, the "Report" also gives specific predictions and recommendations:

The hydropower industry will usher in a new driving force for development
.

The functional positioning of hydropower should be gradually changed from being based on electricity to capacity support, so as to promote the comprehensive development of water and wind complementary

In terms of wind power, onshore wind power will develop in a high-quality direction, promoting both on-site development and utilization and large-scale development and outsourcing.

Offshore wind power must follow the principle of “from near to far”, optimize the layout in the offshore area, and demonstrate development in the deep and far seas

In terms of photovoltaic and solar thermal power generation, the future has broad development prospects in the fields of "photovoltaic + solar thermal", transportation, and new infrastructure
.

In the field of new energy storage, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, new energy storage will enter a stage of large-scale development.

It must be demand-oriented and make continuous breakthroughs in terms of high safety, long life, high efficiency, low cost, large scale and environmental friendliness.

In terms of biomass energy, attention should be paid to the growth of non-electric utilization, especially in the areas of biomass natural gas and biomass briquette fuels that will continue to grow
.
Biomass energy will play an important role in promoting the construction of rural ecological civilization and boosting rural revitalization
.

In terms of geothermal energy, geothermal heating in northern China will achieve rapid development
.
In addition, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River will become a key area for shallow geothermal energy development and construction
.

In terms of hydrogen energy, large-scale hydrogen production has begun, which will accelerate the process of energy reform
.
With increased policy support and industrial progress, hydrogen production from renewable energy will usher in a better development prospect, and demonstration projects for hydrogen production from renewable energy will be further promoted
