Core Viewpoint - Shandong Province is implementing the "Eight Major Actions" to enhance the high-level consumption of renewable energy while maintaining the role of coal power as a stabilizing force in the energy system [1] Group 1: Coal Power's Role and Measures - Coal power serves as a "ballast" for ensuring the safe and stable operation of the power system and is crucial for promoting renewable energy consumption [1] - During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Shandong will introduce action plans for the transformation and upgrading of the coal power industry, including the phased retirement of subcritical units and the enhancement of peak regulation capabilities of coal power plants [1][5] Group 2: New Coal Power Projects - The province is accelerating the planning and construction of clean and efficient coal power units, with new standards for flexibility in operation, requiring new pure condensing and extraction condensing coal power units to have minimum technical outputs of no more than 20% and 30% of rated load, respectively [3] - A total of 8.72 million kilowatts of new coal power capacity is expected to be added through projects like Linyi Hengxin and Huawang Thermal Power [3] Group 3: Upgrading Existing Coal Power Units - The province is fully implementing upgrades for existing large coal power units, with 66 units and 31.895 million kilowatts already modified for flexibility, adding over 7 million kilowatts of regulation capacity [4] - The goal for this year is to complete the "three modifications" for approximately 20 million kilowatts of coal power units [4] Group 4: Support for Thermal-Electric Decoupling - Shandong is promoting thermal-electric decoupling technology, encouraging coal power units to adopt electric boilers and molten salt storage to enhance flexibility [4] - Pilot projects like Jining Huayuan and Datang Linqing Power Plant are being established to improve rapid response capabilities of coal power units [4] Group 5: Future Plans and Standards - The Shandong Energy Bureau will develop implementation plans aligned with national coal power upgrade initiatives, focusing on deep peak regulation, rapid adjustment, strong support, wide load, high resilience, and low emissions [5] - Future coal power projects will be strictly controlled and planned according to new generation coal power standards to enhance peak regulation capabilities and adapt to the needs of the new power system [5]
