国家能源局局长王宏志: 以更大力度推动我国新能源高质量发展

Core Viewpoint - The development of renewable energy is crucial for improving energy structure, ensuring energy security, and advancing ecological civilization in China, with significant achievements and transformations noted in the sector since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China [1][2][4]. Group 1: Achievements in Renewable Energy - China has built the world's largest and fastest-growing renewable energy system, establishing the most complete renewable energy industrial chain globally [1][2]. - As of August 2023, the total installed capacity of wind and solar power in China exceeded 1.69 billion kilowatts, more than three times the capacity at the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan, contributing 80% of the new power installations since the beginning of the 14th Five-Year Plan [2]. - The average cost of renewable energy generation has decreased significantly, with onshore wind power costs down by over 60% and solar power costs down by over 80%, making renewable energy 30% cheaper than coal power [2]. Group 2: Economic Impact - In 2024, the investment in key renewable energy projects is expected to reach approximately 1.2 trillion yuan, accounting for over 50% of the investment in the power sector and more than 2% of total fixed asset investment in the country [3]. - Renewable energy has created numerous investment and employment opportunities, contributing over 20% of fixed asset investment in some resource-rich provinces [3]. Group 3: International Cooperation - China's renewable energy industry has become a significant player in global supply chains, with the production of wind and solar products expected to reduce global CO2 emissions by approximately 2.65 billion tons in 2024 [3]. - The country is positioned to lead international cooperation in renewable energy, especially in the context of global climate change and energy transition [3]. Group 4: Future Development Strategies - The focus for the 14th Five-Year Plan is on achieving carbon peak goals while ensuring energy security, with a strong emphasis on expanding renewable energy supply and enhancing its market participation [9][10]. - Strategies include promoting non-electric utilization of renewable energy, such as biomass and geothermal energy, and advancing hydrogen production from renewable sources [11][12]. - The development approach is shifting from resource-driven to benefit-driven, emphasizing market participation and efficiency in the renewable energy sector [8][9].
