Wind power industry has received cold treatment

According to the “Global Wind Power Development Outlook 2012” report jointly issued by the International Environmental Protection Organization’s Greenpeace and the Global Wind Energy Council, it is forecasted that by 2020, wind power can supply 12% of the world’s electricity demand and generate 15 billion tons of CO2 emission reductions per year. By 2030, wind power can provide more than 20% of the world's electricity demand.

According to China's "12th Five-Year Plan" Renewable Energy Plan, by 2015, the cumulative installed capacity of wind power across the country will reach 100 million kilowatts, and the annual power generation will reach 190 billion kilowatt-hours. Wind power generation will be the total amount of electricity generated. The proportion of more than 3%.

Let Shi Pengfei, deputy director of the China Wind Energy Committee of the China Renewable Energy Society, pay more attention to the question: “Is this 1900 billion kWh of electricity truly sent out?”

After undergoing rapid growth for several consecutive years, China’s wind power began to face many bottlenecks and its development speed began to slow down. The important factors that plague the development of wind power are non-discriminatory and subsidies. This may also be the crux of what Shi Pengfei is worried about.

"Discarding wind" has become increasingly fierce

According to the data from the State Electricity Regulatory Commission, wind power from wind farms in the “Three North” region reached 12.3 billion kWh in 2011, and the rate of wind rejection was 16%.

"The rate of wind curtailment in the first half of this year has also reached around 15%," said Shi Pengfei.

The phenomenon of abandonment has existed in China for many years, and it has become increasingly fierce.

"The reason why the elimination and discarding of the wind are so serious now is the result of years of rapid development." Hou Yuxi, Marketing Director of Goldwind Technology Co., Ltd. said.

“This was caused by the rapid development of wind power in the early period of China and the lack of coordination of existing plans.” Shi Pengfei said with a smile. “This is no way to plan. We did not expect wind power to develop so quickly. Now, we know the manufacturing capacity. As well as development capabilities, the next step is to strengthen the planning for consumption."

“Discarded winds are closely linked with power consumption, power transmission, and power grid dispatch. They cannot completely blame the power grids. This has a lot to do with national systems and local appeals.” Hou Yuxi said in an interview with a reporter from China Enterprise News. .

“The long-distance transmission and unstable power transmission of the power grid are the ability to solve problems. At present, the abandonment of wind is caused by a combination of factors. Although all parties are making efforts, due to incomplete coordination of resources of several parties, there are Some dislocations.” But Hou Yuxi believes that the state will make some structural adjustments. Coupled with the efforts of several companies such as power grid companies, power generation companies, and manufacturing companies, the issue of wind dispersal will be improved within a certain degree within three to five years. ”

"If we want to solve, the power grid companies must combine the entire domestic power grid construction and can create more conditions as soon as possible, build more networks and ensure the transmission of wind power. With the increase of local economic development, the demand for power can also be solved locally. Problems," Hou Yuxi said.

"Therefore, it is necessary to adjust peaks and transport long distances. Then there is the quota system. It is necessary to solve, make full use of, and reduce the use of wind, which is an urgent problem that needs to be solved," said Shi Pengfei.

Liu Qi, deputy director of the National Energy Administration, stated at the Beijing International Wind Energy Conference that China currently has the largest installed capacity of wind power grids in the world, but there are some phenomena such as abandonment of wind, reflecting the traditional energy system, and management systems and policies and measures cannot fully adapt to wind power, etc. The need for new energy development, accelerating the development of wind power must eliminate the obstacles and constraints of the system, and promoting the sustained and healthy development of wind power in China is an important system project.

The delay has not yet arrived

Also tricky is subsidies. As of November 20, 2012, green subsidies for 2010 have not yet returned. This is an unbearable burden on developers.

“In the past, capital’s attitude towards wind power was buoyant, but now it has been turned into a cold one.” Dai Dongdong, project manager of Dongfang Electric Dongfang Turbine Marketing Co., Ltd., bluntly stated, “If you don’t send subsidies to everyone, you may not be able to live. "Energy investment is a capital-intensive investment, and only with sufficient capital can we develop better."

"Subsidy distribution will take some time, but for power generation companies, they may think that time is a bit too long, because the pressure of funds, whether for power generation companies or independent operating units of wind farms, have a great impact. "Hou Yuxi said.

"Because of delays in subsidy and delays in the settlement time of electricity grids, developers' delays in payment to manufacturers have a great impact on manufacturers. This is an online line." Hou Yuxi hopes, "Because this fund is State management, so to solve this problem, the need for national authorities to improve or improve the process management and management methods."

The immediate concern of the other parties is how to get the money as soon as possible.

"The original is charged from the user's every kWh, but there is a problem that it will take a longer period to collect and return." Shi Pengfei revealed that the entire subsidy will be changed, "may be changed by users to tax the developer." Relief, but it is still under study."

Tax deductions are a good thing for new energy companies. Hou Yuxi said frankly, “The current overall operating costs are relatively large, capital pressure is also relatively large, coupled with the phenomenon of wind curtailment and so on, so the benefits of wind farms are not as good as some expect.” As an important In the link, if the power generation capacity of the power station can be fully released, it will play an active role for the upstream and downstream companies.

“The tax exemption is more direct and timely.” Dai Dongdong told reporters, “Enterprises can get back money early, pay back bank interest at a relatively early date, and reduce financial pressure. If other methods are used, there may be a link for approval. The expropriation will be refunded. The efficiency is very low."

According to Shi Pengfei, it is a good thing for wind power to have a large scale of development. “But if you have a large scale, you will run into the existing system. The energy system needs to go to a clean and sustainable energy system, but you can't hurry because you have reached a deeper level, not Energy Bureau can solve problems."

“Stableness is a crucial factor in ensuring the long-term development of the wind power industry. A long-term and stable policy will send a clear signal to investors to understand the government’s vision for the development of this technology.” Greenpeace International Renewable Energy Senior Expert Sifan Taiske said, “Global wind development prospects show that by the year 2020, the wind power industry will provide 2.1 million jobs, which is three times the current size. The realization of this goal requires correct policy support.”
