Zhang Jianhua, director of the National Energy Administration, said at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office on the 30th that my country has formed a relatively complete renewable energy technology industry system, and the level of technical equipment has been greatly improved, injecting surging momentum into the development of renewable energy. As of the end of 2020, the total installed capacity of renewable energy power generation in the country reached 930 million kilowatts, accounting for 42.4% of the total installed capacity, and the scale of development and utilization ranks first in the world.
Zhang Jianhua revealed that as of the end of 2020, my country's renewable energy power generation installed capacity increased by 14.6 percentage points compared with 2012, including: hydropower 370 million kilowatts, wind power 280 million kilowatts, photovoltaic power generation 250 million kilowatts, and biomass power generation 29.52 million kilowatts, respectively. It has ranked first in the world in 2016, 2011, 6 and 3 years. The utilization level of renewable energy continues to increase. In 2020, the country's renewable energy power generation reached 2.2 trillion kilowatt-hours, accounting for 29.5% of the entire society's electricity consumption, an increase of 9.5 percentage points from 2012, which strongly supports my country's goal of non-fossil energy accounting for 15.9% of primary energy consumption. , to achieve the solemn commitment of non-fossil energy consumption reaching 15% in 2020 as scheduled. At present, about 40% of the country's installed power generation capacity and about 30% of the power generation capacity are renewable energy, and the total installed capacity of renewable energy ranks first in the world.
He emphasized that at the same time, the level of renewable energy technology and equipment has been greatly improved: in the hydropower field, it has the world's largest independent design and manufacturing capabilities for million-kilowatt hydraulic turbine units, and the design and construction capabilities of ultra-high dams and large underground caverns are among the world's leading; low Wind speed wind power technology ranks among the best in the world. More than 90% of domestic wind power installed capacity uses domestic wind turbines, and 10-megawatt offshore wind turbines have begun trial operation. Photovoltaic power generation technology has rapidly iterated, and has repeatedly set world records for battery conversion efficiency. The photovoltaic industry occupies a leading position in the world. Seven of the top ten companies in the world in terms of components are from my country. Integrated manufacturing across the entire industry chain has strongly promoted the continued decline in the cost of wind power and photovoltaic power generation. In the past 10 years, the average cost per kilowatt of onshore wind power and photovoltaic power generation projects has dropped by about 30% and 75% respectively. Industrial competitiveness continues to improve, becoming a new model of renewable energy. , injecting strong impetus into the vigorous development of new business formats. (Reporter Qu Jian)
