Core Viewpoint - The "green electricity direct connection" initiative is set to open significant space for the consumption of renewable energy in China, with major projects like the Tarim Oilfield's 1.3 million kW photovoltaic project leading the way [2][3]. Group 1: Project Launch and Impact - The Tarim Oilfield's project will become the first million-kilowatt-level green electricity direct connection project in Northwest China, capable of producing 2.1 billion kWh of green electricity annually for nearby enterprises [3]. - The project is expected to reduce the photovoltaic power station's curtailment rate by 40% and lower the comprehensive energy consumption of connected enterprises by 36.7%, increasing the share of green electricity consumption from zero to 60.4% [3]. Group 2: Policy and Implementation - The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration have issued guidelines to promote green electricity direct connection projects, encouraging various entities to invest [2][5]. - Local governments in provinces like Jiangsu, Yunnan, and Qinghai have also released implementation plans for green electricity direct connection, with varying regulations on load, connection lines, and source-load distances [6]. Group 3: Challenges and Considerations - The implementation of green electricity direct connection projects faces challenges such as unclear cost allocation and collection mechanisms, as well as difficulties for small and medium-sized enterprises to meet green electricity demands [2][5]. - The need for energy storage solutions is emphasized to enhance self-consumption ratios and meet regulatory requirements for these projects [5][8]. - There are concerns regarding the sustainability of investments in green electricity projects, particularly regarding the stability and sustainability of user electricity loads [9].
