The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration recently released the "15th Five-Year Plan for New Power System Construction", which clarifies the overall idea of ​​my country's power development in the next five years, proposes the strategic goal of initially completing a new power system by 2030, and deploys the main goals, major projects, and key tasks for the development of the power industry.

During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, with the surge in power consumption for computing power, the rapid increase in electric vehicle charging demand, and the rigid growth of electricity consumption in other industries and residents' daily life, it is expected that the national average annual increase in electricity consumption will reach about 600 billion kilowatt-hours, which is equivalent to the electricity consumption level of a country with a medium-sized economy added every year.

“The plan is to thoroughly implement the overall requirements of accelerating the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe, abundant, cost-effective, supply-demand coordinated, flexible and intelligent new power system, and coordinate and take into account the three main aspects of supply guarantee, transformation, and economy.” Relevant comrades from the National Energy Administration said that supply guaranteeIn terms of power support, while continuing to improve the level of non-fossil energy power support, we should give full play to the role of inter-provincial power mutual aid, new energy storage, virtual power plants, etc., promote the coordinated efforts of source, grid and load storage, consolidate the foundation of traditional power sources such as coal power and gas power, and ensure that power supply maintains a reasonable margin.

To steadily promote green and low-carbon development while ensuring energy security, the plan proposes that by 2030, a green and low-carbon power supply pattern will be basically formed, with non-fossil energy power generation accounting for 50%.

“my country has basically formed a clean power supply system with diversified development of coal, gas, nuclear and renewable energy.” Yang Kun, executive vice chairman of the China Electricity Council, said that during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, the dominant position of non-fossil energy power generation installed capacity will be further consolidated, and the dominant position of electricity in the terminal energy consumption pattern will be further strengthened, providing strong support for economic and social development and green and low-carbon transformation.

The plan proposes that by 2030, a new power grid that is safe, reliable, green and low-carbon, strong, resilient, intelligent and flexible will be initially built, the resource allocation platform and service functions will be fully utilized, a high-level consumption of more than 2.8 billion kilowatts of new energy will be achieved, and a charging infrastructure network that can support more than 110 million electric vehicles will be built.

Relevant comrades from the National Energy Administration stated that the plan proposes new measures to systematically solve the consumption of new energy, clarify new requirements for the classified development layout and utilization rate control of new energy, increase the adaptability and adjustment capabilities of the power grid, and further play the role of the power market.

The end of computing power is electricity.According to data released by the China Electricity Council, it is expected that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the national computing power consumption will increase by more than 100 billion kilowatt hours on average annually, and is expected to reach 800 billion kilowatt hours by 2030, accounting for about 6% of the total electricity consumption in society.

To promote the coordinated development of electricity and computing power, the plan proposes to "coordinate the allocation of energy resources and the construction of computing power facilities, coordinate the planning and layout of computing power and power projects, and achieve the goal of using electricity to strengthen computing and using computing to promote electricity" and "increase the proportion of green electricity in computing power facilities".

In addition, the plan also proposes a series of measures to promote the coordinated and integrated development of electric power and related fields, such as "promoting the coordinated linkage of electric heating, electric hydrogen, etc." and "promoting the integrated development of electric power and transportation."

“The plan not only focuses on the development of electric power itself, but also promotes the coordinated and integrated development of electric power, computing power, transportation and other fields, and strives to maximize the mutual promotion of new electric power systems and modern industrial systems.” said Xiao Hongwei, director and researcher of the Policy Simulation Laboratory of the Economic Forecasting Department of the National Information Center of the National Development and Reform Commission.According to Xinhua News Agency
