Strive to add 500MW CSP projects! Inner Mongolia’s 14th Five-Year Plan will promote the integrated construction of solar thermal power generation and wind power photovoltaic

Recently, the Energy Bureau of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region issued the “14th Five-Year Plan for Renewable Energy Development of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region”, which mentioned CSP in many places.

The notice shows that the installed scale of renewable energy in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has continued to expand since the 13th Five-Year Plan. By the end of 2020, the cumulative installed capacity of renewable energy was 53.06 million KW, accounting for 36% of the region’s total installed capacity, an increase of 6 percentage points from the end of the “12th Five-Year Plan”. Among them, the installed capacity of solar thermal power generation is 100,000 kw (the country’s first batch of solar thermal power generation demonstration projects of 100,000 kw in Urat Middle Banner were successfully connected to the grid for power generation).

The notice pointed out that the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region will vigorously improve the storage and consumption capacity of renewable energy during the 14th Five-Year Plan. Accelerate the construction of storage and adjustment facilities such as pumped storage, solar thermal power generation, and new energy storage, effectively improve the comprehensive adjustment capacity of the power system, strengthen the load consumption of renewable energy power generation near the grid, and promote external delivery and consumption in an orderly manner.

Promoting the development of solar thermal power generation according to local conditions. Summarize the construction experience of the first batch of solar thermal power generation demonstration projects, give full play to the energy storage adjustment capacity and system support capacity of solar thermal power generation, and build solar thermal power generation projects according to local conditions. Give full play to the multiple functions of solar thermal power generation in the power system, such as peak regulation, frequency regulation, and energy storage, coordinate the promotion of the integrated construction and operation of solar thermal power generation and wind power photovoltaic bases, and provide support for a high proportion of new energy for self-use and delivery. During the Five-Year Plan period, 500,000 kw of grid-connected solar thermal power generation projects were added.

During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, the total investment in renewable energy in the autonomous region is about 490 billion yuan. Among them, wind power will drive investment of about 280 billion yuan, photovoltaic power generation will drive investment of about 130 billion yuan, pumped storage will drive investment of about 10 billion yuan, solar thermal power generation, biomass energy, geothermal, green hydrogen manufacturing, energy storage and other forms of renewable energy Energy utilization projects drive investment of about 70 billion RMB.
