中国华电总经理叶向东：新型电力系统建设支撑经济社会发展绿色转型

Core Viewpoint - The construction of a new power system in China is crucial for supporting the green transformation of the economy and society, focusing on low-carbon energy structure, clean energy consumption, ecological governance, and the development of strategic emerging industries [1][2][3] Group 1: Low-Carbon Energy Structure - The new power system significantly enhances the proportion of non-fossil energy installations and promotes energy-saving and carbon-reduction measures in coal power, leading to a notable decrease in carbon emissions intensity [1] - As of July this year, non-fossil energy generation capacity reached 2.23 billion kilowatts, accounting for 60.8% of total installed capacity, with over 95% of coal power units achieving ultra-low emissions [1] - The average coal consumption for coal-fired power is projected to drop to 302.4 grams per kilowatt-hour by 2024, supporting the increase in non-fossil energy consumption [1] Group 2: Clean Energy Consumption - The new power system accelerates the implementation of clean energy alternatives in various sectors, including industry, transportation, and agriculture, thereby reducing the use of traditional fossil fuels and lowering pollutant emissions [2] - Since the 14th Five-Year Plan, the proportion of electricity in terminal energy consumption has increased by approximately 4 percentage points [2] - Future advancements in the integration of electricity, hydrogen, ammonia, and alcohol will further enhance the level of clean energy use [2] Group 3: Ecological Governance - Large-scale wind and solar power bases in desertified areas are key to the development of renewable energy, with installed capacity expected to reach 455 million kilowatts by 2030 [2] - The construction of these renewable energy bases will facilitate the restoration of 10.1 million acres of desertified land, promoting both ecological and economic benefits [2] Group 4: Development of Strategic Emerging Industries - The new power system fosters innovation in green low-carbon technologies and digitalization, empowering traditional industries to upgrade and expand [3] - Strategic emerging industries such as renewable energy, energy storage, hydrogen energy, and smart grids are becoming new pillars for stable investment, expanding domestic demand, and job creation [3] - The construction of the new power system also enhances China's global leadership in green low-carbon equipment technology [3]
