Offshore wind power is difficult to complete the "12th Five-Year" target

Recently, Shi Lishan, deputy director of the New Energy and Renewable Energy Division of the National Energy Administration, disclosed that due to factors such as technology, policy, understanding, and management, especially due to unclear offshore wind power tariffs and difficulty in coordinating and implementing preliminary work, the The construction process of offshore wind power projects in China is not very satisfactory. It only has an installed capacity of 390,000 kilowatts, making it difficult to achieve the national target of installing 5 million kilowatts during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period.

Shi Lishan said at the time of the “Sino-British Wind Power Case Study Results Release and Technical Exchange Conference” held here that offshore wind power is an important field for wind power development and an area with high technical requirements. At present, the focus of European wind power development has been transferred. Offshore wind power. Although important progress has been made in the development of offshore wind power in China, there is a large gap between technology and policy and management. All parties must work together to effectively solve the outstanding problems that restrict the development of offshore wind power, so as to promote the large-scale utilization of offshore wind power.

Shi Lishan believes that it is necessary to clarify the price policy as soon as possible. Offshore wind power has high technical requirements, complex construction conditions, and large investment demand, leading to high development costs of offshore wind power. If there is no clear tariff policy, it is difficult for investors to evaluate and make decisions on project construction.

Second, we must strengthen departmental coordination and management. Offshore wind power development and construction are closely related to marine transportation and ecological protection. Currently, the coordination and convergence between departments is not enough. All relevant departments must strengthen communication and coordination, clarify the key aspects of offshore wind power management and related requirements, and improve management efficiency.

Third, we must strengthen the construction of technology and standards systems. At present, China’s offshore wind power infrastructure is relatively weak, and its technology and standard system are still not perfect. It is necessary to strengthen technical progress in resource evaluation, engineering design, construction and installation, and operation and maintenance.

According to Yi Yuechun, deputy chief engineer of the Hydropower and Water Conservancy Planning and Design Institute, the UK is the fastest growing offshore wind power country in the world and has accumulated rich experience in offshore wind power industry management, overall planning, engineering construction, operation and maintenance. The case study of offshore wind power carried out by China and the United Kingdom is of great significance to enhancing both the offshore wind power development and construction levels and promoting the development of offshore wind power in both countries.

It is reported that the "Sino-British Offshore Wind Power Case Study Results Announcement and Technical Exchange Conference" was undertaken by the General Institute of Hydropower Planning and Design. The General Hydropower Center is the only institution in China that is responsible for the centralized management of hydropower, wind power, and solar photovoltaic power generation. It is entrusted by the National Development and Reform Commission, the National Energy Administration and other departments to undertake industrial planning, technical management, standard formulation, project acceptance, and policy research. Wait for work.
