Concerned about the draft amendment to the Renewable Energy Law
“Renewable Energy Law draft amendments to the proposed renewable energy power generation in full protective buying system, and will promote renewable energy development. But to be a worst case scenario, the system will lead to more active on the ground throughout the project. If there is no strict The scientific planning, will result in more serious blind development, the state can be fully ‘will pay for’ it? “National People’s Congress, Nanjing University Dean Professor Zhang Hong energy in an interview, suggested that scientific planning is to promote the industry sustainable the development of protection. In the legal amendments, it should be more scientific approach to study the existing planning reasons for deviation, really good job in development planning.
According to the plan in 2010 should be the national wind power installed capacity of 500 kilowatts, but as of late last year reached 12.5 million kilowatts. Renewable Energy Act in 2005 to consider adoption, wind power, solar power and other renewable energy industry with more than 50% per year rate of increase. 2020, does not consider power constraints, wind power could reach 80 million kilowatts to 100 million kilowatts installed capacity, far exceeding the original goal of 30 million kilowatts; solar photovoltaic wind power generation is also expected to far more than the planning development goals.
In the August 27 closing of the Eleventh NPC Standing Committee, 10th meeting, on renewable energy development in the planning issue has become one of the focuses.
“By the winter, power plants and not stop, they forced to shut down wind farms, 140 turbines is enough to open four units, other units in which more than 100 idle, while a wind generator cost 10 million . “National People’s Congress Standing Committee Xu Zhenchao describes the three wind power plant in Inner Mongolia of research, he explained the reasons behind this phenomenon is one of the power grid construction planning lags behind wind power development.
“In the field of renewable energy a ‘blindly follow suit, had swarmed’ the signs.” Nan said the NPC Standing Committee, large capital inflows and upstream wind power market, manufacturing, national wind turbine manufacturing machine up to 60 more than potential output can significantly exceed the market demand.
Zhang analysis, the above-mentioned phenomenon, mainly because of China’s renewable energy resource assessment of the level and the overall scientific planning capacity and its industrial development itself does not match.
To biomass, for example, built in recent years, biomass utilization projects, due to resource uncertainties large, is now facing serious resource supply problems. One of the reasons was to evaluate the intensity is not enough: the cultivation of energy crops can be used for the non-arable land resources is unclear, the relevant state of water resources available land is unclear, the use of biological species that can be economical, yet evaluation of drought tolerance.
“Is an indisputable fact is that China’s renewable energy industry-related manufacturing industries, driven excessive.” Zhang explained that solar power led to the development of photovoltaic cells, wind power led to the development of wind power manufacturing industry. However, utilization of installed capacity and actual generation gap between the large. This is the full protection of the acquisition system was in place the background.
“Full protection of the acquisition system can not fundamentally solve the problems of development of renewable energy.” Zhang proposed to strengthen the renewable energy industry, science and technology research efforts. Only the technological level, the ability of independent innovation, industrial level, the system matches the power is much improved, in order to really promote industrial development.
Let Zhang concern is that this amendment does not reflect the position of the leading scientific and technological research. “Renewable energy electricity price high, the state can not get no subsidies for electricity networks, enterprise development can not, this is the reality. But more thought should be fully scientific reasons for that situation and countermeasures.”
National People’s Congress Standing Committee XIE Ke-chang, in a group delibera
tions, noted the need to consider the adoption of amendments to the law to promote the scientific development of renewable energy. He suggested that the amendment to Article 9 “the preparation of renewable energy development and utilization planning and the implementation plan, should adhere to local conditions, co-ordinate the development and rational distribution and orderly development of the principle” of “local conditions” before add “based on domestic”; in “Planning content” should be added “independent innovation” content.
Zhang also proposed to strengthen the planning legal effect. In the legislation should provide for the formulation of energy development planning process, effectiveness and non-compliance with planning should bear legal responsibility.
