Promote clean energy and enjoy low-carbon life

On March 22 this year, the power of photovoltaic power generation in Zhejiang Province exceeded 10 million kilowatts for the first time, meaning that over 1/7 of the province’s electricity power at that moment was provided by solar energy.

In the process of building a national clean energy demonstration province, Zhejiang aims to achieve carbon peaks and carbon neutrality, and through exploring the diversified and highly flexible grid under the form of the energy Internet, it creates a new power system with new energy as the main body, and provides green for regional development.

Zhejiang has a poor primary energy endowment, but clean and low-carbon electricity will account for nearly 40% of the province's electricity consumption in 2020.

The consumption of new energy requires innovation in technology and policy mechanisms.

Haining Jianshan New District is dotted with rooftop solar and wind power generators.

A few days ago, Zhejiang successfully increased the maximum transmission power of the Zhoushan five-terminal flexible DC transmission project from 25% of the daily to 100%, which strongly supports the development of wind, light, and tidal energy in the Zhoushan Islands.

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Zhejiang will strive to develop the UHV AC ring network, build UHV transmission channels across the Qiantang River, enhance the power transmission capacity across regions and energy supply risk resistance capabilities in East China, and vigorously promote the fourth UHV DC input Zhejiang.

Starting in 2020, Zhejiang has implemented dynamic capacity expansion of transmission lines, eliminating the bottleneck of energy transmission in places such as Shaoxing.

　　In Quzhou, the level of "benefit per mu" is applied to power demand response rewards, and policy incentives are used to increase production efficiency and reduce unit energy consumption.

　　On April 21st, when backpacker Yu Mengmeng checked out at Xishe B&B in Xiajiang Village, Hangzhou, he scanned the code to get his green points, which was discounted to 10 yuan for the room rate, and he was pleasantly surprised to experience the benefits of energy saving.

　　The proportion of electric energy in final energy consumption increased by 1 percentage point, and energy intensity dropped by 3.

　　In Zhejiang, through the joint efforts of the government, enterprises and people, the concept of energy consumption is changing from "price reduction" to "quantity reduction.
