2017-02-08
According to the latest statistics released by the National Energy Administration on February 5th, 2016, China's newly installed photovoltaic capacity reached 34.54 million kilowatts (34.54 gigawatts). By the end of 2016, China's cumulative installed photovoltaic capacity reached 77.42 million kilowatts (77.42 gigawatts). Therefore, China once again ranked first in the world in both newly installed and cumulative installed photovoltaic capacity.
According to the latest statistics released by the National Energy Administration on February 5, 2016, China's newly installed photovoltaic (PV) capacity reached 34.54 million kilowatts (34.54 GW). By the end of 2016, the cumulative installed PV capacity reached 77.42 million kilowatts (77.42 GW). Therefore, China once again ranked first in the world in both newly installed PV capacity and cumulative installed PV capacity.
In comparison, in 2015, China's newly installed PV capacity was 15.13 million kilowatts (15.13 GW); by the end of 2015, China's cumulative installed PV capacity was 43.18 million kilowatts (43.18 GW).
Data shows that in 2016, China's PV power generation reached 66.2 billion kilowatt-hours, accounting for 1% of China's total power generation for the year. Furthermore, the National Energy Administration analyzed that in 2016, China's PV power generation showed a trend of shifting towards the central and eastern regions; at the same time, the installed capacity of distributed PV power generation accelerated, with an increase of 200% in newly installed PV capacity in 2016 compared to 2015.
PV power generation shows a trend of shifting towards the central and eastern regions
In late December 2016, the National Development and Reform Commission officially released the "13th Five-Year Plan for Renewable Energy Development" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). This Plan is far-reaching, not only because it will drive China's renewable energy industry, but more importantly, its launch and implementation are related to whether China can achieve the goal of 15% of non-fossil energy in primary energy consumption by 2020.
Taking solar energy as an example, according to the Securities Daily reporter's compilation, the Plan proposes that by 2020, China will add about 70 million kilowatts of various solar power generation capacity, with new investment of about 1 trillion yuan. This is more than the planned 500 billion yuan for new hydropower investment and 700 billion yuan for new wind power investment.
The latest data from the National Energy Administration shows that among the newly installed PV power generation capacity in 2016, the Northwest region accounted for 9.74 million kilowatts, or 28% of the national total; regions outside the Northwest accounted for 24.8 million kilowatts, or 72% of the national total; nine provinces in the central and eastern regions had newly installed capacities exceeding 1 million kilowatts, including Shandong (3.22 million kilowatts), Henan (2.44 million kilowatts), Anhui (2.25 million kilowatts), and Hebei (2.03 million kilowatts).
In comparison, in 2015, Xinjiang (including the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps), Inner Mongolia, and Jiangsu ranked among the top three in newly installed capacity, with 2.1 million kilowatts, 1.87 million kilowatts, and 1.65 million kilowatts respectively. Therefore, the National Energy Administration analyzed that in 2016, China's PV power generation showed a trend of shifting towards the central and eastern regions.
Today, photovoltaics has become one of China's most advantageous industries. The aforementioned Plan pointed out that in the field of photovoltaics, China has created world records for the conversion efficiency of new battery technologies such as crystalline silicon. A globally competitive photovoltaic power generation industry chain has been established, breakthroughs have been made in the technological blockade of polysilicon production, polysilicon production accounts for about 40% of the global total, and photovoltaic component production accounts for about 70% of the global total. Technological advancements and increased production scale have resulted in a decrease in PV component Price of more than 60% during the 12th Five-Year Plan period.
Distributed PV newly installed capacity increased by 200%
It is understood that the Plan prioritizes "the comprehensive promotion of distributed PV and integrated utilization of PV and other energy sources" in promoting the utilization of solar energy.
The Plan proposes that China continue to support the large-scale promotion of rooftop PV power generation systems in established industrial parks and economic development zones with concentrated power consumption; actively encourage the construction of PV power plant projects in central and eastern cities and industrial zones with high power loads and good industrial and commercial infrastructure, based on the principle of proximity utilization; combine land integrated utilization, relying on agriculture, aquaculture, and forestry cultivation, to create various integrated commercial models of "PV and other energy sources" in a way that is appropriate to local conditions, promoting the organic integration of PV with other industries; innovate the distributed utilization model of PV, and carry out a "1 kilowatt PV per person" demonstration project in central and eastern regions with favorable conditions, constructing PV towns and PV villages.
At the same time, in addition to distributed PV and integrated utilization of "PV and other energy sources", the Plan also proposes orderly promotion of the construction of large-scale PV power plants, promoting the construction of solar thermal power generation demonstration projects in a way that is appropriate to local conditions, vigorously promoting the diversified development of solar thermal utilization, and actively promoting PV poverty alleviation projects.
In fact, China has already seen initial results in "the comprehensive promotion of distributed PV and integrated utilization of "PV and other energy sources". Data shows that by the end of 2016, among China's cumulative installed PV capacity of 77.42 million kilowatts, the cumulative installed capacity of PV power plants was 67.1 million kilowatts, while the cumulative installed capacity of distributed PV was 10.32 million kilowatts.
Among them, the newly installed capacity of distributed PV power generation in 2016 was 4.24 million kilowatts, a 200% increase compared to 2015. According to statistics from the National Energy Administration, last year, distributed PV in China's central and eastern regions experienced significant growth, with the top five provinces in terms of newly installed capacity being Zhejiang (860,000 kilowatts), Shandong (750,000 kilowatts), Jiangsu (530,000 kilowatts), Anhui (460,000 kilowatts), and Jiangxi (310,000 kilowatts).
