State Council: Actively develop distributed photovoltaics

On August 11, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the "Opinions on Accelerating the Comprehensive Green Transformation of Economic and Social Development". This is the first time that the central government has made systematic arrangements for accelerating the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development.

By 2030, the green transformation of key areas will make positive progress, green production and lifestyles will be basically formed, the ability to coordinate pollution reduction and carbon reduction will be significantly enhanced, the efficiency of major resource utilization will be further improved, the policy and standard system supporting green development will be more perfect, and the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development will achieve remarkable results. By 2035, a green, low-carbon, circular development economic system will be basically established, green production and lifestyles will be widely formed, and the coordinated efficiency of pollution reduction and carbon reduction will make significant progress. The efficiency of major resource utilization will reach the international advanced level, economic and social development will enter the green and low-carbon track in an all-round way, carbon emissions will be stable and declining after reaching the peak, and the goal of a beautiful China will be basically achieved.

The "Opinions" pointed out that it is necessary to:

Vigorously develop green and low-carbon industries. Accelerate the development of strategic emerging industries, build a green manufacturing system and service system, and continuously increase the proportion of green and low-carbon industries in the total economy. By 2030, the scale of energy-saving and environmental protection industries will reach about 15 trillion yuan.

Strengthen the clean and efficient use of fossil energy. Strengthen the construction of energy production, supply, storage and marketing systems, adhere to the principle of building before breaking, promote the safe, reliable and orderly replacement of fossil energy by non-fossil energy, continuously optimize the energy structure, and accelerate the planning and construction of a new energy system.

Vigorously develop non-fossil energy. Accelerate the construction of clean energy bases such as wind power and photovoltaic power in the northwest, hydropower in the southwest, offshore wind power, and coastal nuclear power, actively develop distributed photovoltaic and decentralized wind power, develop new energy such as biomass energy, geothermal energy, and ocean energy according to local conditions, and promote the full chain development of hydrogen energy "production, storage, transmission and use". Coordinate hydropower development and ecological protection, and promote the integrated development of water, wind and light. Actively, safely and orderly develop nuclear power, maintain a reasonable layout and a steady construction rhythm. By 2030, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption will be increased to about 25%.

Accelerate the construction of a new power system. Strengthen the connection and coordination of clean energy bases, regulatory resources and transmission channels in terms of scale capacity, spatial layout, and construction rhythm, encourage the layout of natural gas peak-shaving power stations in areas where gas sources can be implemented and gas prices can be afforded, and scientifically layout pumped storage, new energy storage, and solar thermal power generation to enhance the safe operation and comprehensive regulation capabilities of the power system. Build smart grids and accelerate the construction of microgrids, virtual power plants, and integrated source-grid-load-storage projects. Strengthen power demand-side management. Deepen power system reform and further improve the system and mechanism that adapts to the new power system. By 2030, the installed capacity of pumped storage will exceed 120 million kilowatts.

Vigorously develop green and low-carbon buildings. Establish a building energy efficiency rating system. Increase the proportion of star-rated green buildings in new buildings and promote the large-scale development of ultra-low energy consumption buildings. Accelerate the energy-saving, water-saving and carbon-reducing transformation of existing buildings and municipal infrastructure, and promote advanced and efficient lighting, air conditioning, elevators and other equipment. Optimize the building energy structure, promote the integrated construction of building photovoltaics, promote the application of "photovoltaic storage direct and flexible" technology, and develop clean and low-carbon heating.

Build green transportation infrastructure. Improve the green and intelligent level of new stations, airports, docks, and highway facilities, promote the energy-saving and carbon-reducing transformation and upgrading of existing transportation infrastructure, build a number of low-carbon (near-zero carbon) stations, airports, docks, and highway service areas, and develop photovoltaics along highways according to local conditions.
