On April 29, the National Energy Administration held an online press conference for the second quarter. Dong Wancheng, deputy director of the development planning department of the national energy administration, said that 492000 charging infrastructure units were added in the first quarter, about 4.6 times that of the same period last year.
Dong Wancheng introduced that the energy industry fully implemented the new energy security strategy and effectively guaranteed the stable supply of coal, electricity, oil and gas. According to industry monitoring, the energy production capacity increased steadily in the first quarter. In the first three months, crude oil production increased by 4.4% year-on-year; The output of raw coal increased by 10.3% year-on-year on the basis of the high base growth of 16% in the same period last year; Natural gas production increased by 6.6% year-on-year; Hydropower and nuclear power generation increased by 12.7% and 6.9% year-on-year respectively, 9.6 and 3.8 percentage points higher than the year-on-year growth of national power generation.
Dong Wancheng said that industrial policies related to green and low-carbon transformation continued to be improved. At present, the cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage has exceeded 4 million KW. In the first three months, 492000 charging infrastructures were added nationwide, about 4.6 times that of the same period last year. This year, the implementation plan for the development of new energy storage in the 14th five year plan was issued to guide the large-scale, industrialized and market-oriented development of new energy storage. The implementation opinions on further improving the service guarantee capacity of electric vehicle charging infrastructure was issued to break through the bottleneck of charging infrastructure development and support the development of new energy vehicle industry.
“The overall expectation of energy project investment is good.” Dong said that the investment in key energy projects increased by 10.3% year-on-year in the first quarter. The construction of the first batch of large-scale wind power photovoltaic base projects in desert Gobi desert areas was accelerated, driving the planned investment in Cecep Solar Energy Co.Ltd(000591) power generation and onshore wind power to increase by 202.6% and 13.3% year-on-year. The investment in pumped storage and nuclear power continued to improve, and the planned investment increased by 31% and 20.5% respectively year-on-year. The planned investment in oil and gas storage and transportation facilities increased by 51.5% year-on-year. The planned investment in the main grid of the power grid is basically the same as last year.
Wang Dapeng, deputy director of the new and renewable energy department of the national energy administration, said that this year, the National Energy Administration anchored the goal and task of carbon peak and carbon neutralization, implemented the renewable energy development plan of the 14th five year plan, accelerated the construction of major projects such as large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases, focused on the protection of energy sources and people’s livelihood, and worked hard to promote the high-quality leap forward development of renewable energy.
In terms of wind power construction and operation, in the first quarter, the country’s wind power added 7.9 million kilowatts of grid connected installed capacity. The national wind power generation capacity was 183.3 billion kwh, a year-on-year increase of 6.2%. In terms of the construction and operation of photovoltaic power generation, in the first quarter, the national installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation increased by 13.21 million KW, including 4.34 million kw of photovoltaic power stations and 8.87 million kw of distributed photovoltaic power generation. By the end of March 2022, the cumulative installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation will be 318 million KW. In the first quarter, the national photovoltaic power generation was 84.1 billion kwh, a year-on-year increase of 22.2%.
Liu Tao, deputy director of the coal department of the national energy administration, said that the scale of CBM development has increased rapidly. After several rounds of resource evaluation, the predicted resource of coalbed methane in China is about 26 trillion cubic meters, of which the accumulated proved geological reserves are 803.9 billion cubic meters.
