On October 19, the Information Office of the State Council held a press conference on the decisive victory of the energy industry on poverty alleviation. Zhang Jianhua, director of the National Energy Administration, told the press conference that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the National Energy Administration has focused on deeply impoverished areas such as the “three regions and three states.” , coordinated the promotion of energy development and construction and poverty alleviation, and the alleviation of energy poverty has achieved significant results. .
According to Zhang Jianhua, a total of 26.36 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power plants for poverty alleviation have been built across the country, benefiting nearly 60,000 poor villages and 4.15 million poor households, generating around 18 billion yuan in power generation revenue each year, and consequently relocating 1.25 million public welfare posts.
The rural electrification rate rose to 18%
Regarding the effectiveness of energy poverty alleviation work, first of all, rural electricity conditions have improved considerably.
Zhang Jianhua said that in 2015, China completed the power construction project in areas without electricity, solved the electricity problem of 40 million people without electricity, and took the lead in making electricity for everyone in developing countries.
“It must be said that this achievement is very great, because there are still 800 million people in the world without electricity, mainly in developing countries.” Zhang Jianhua said that in the first half of this year, China completed the “three regions and three states” ahead of schedule. The three-year action plan for the transformation and improvement of rural electricity grids in the villages of Dibian has significantly improved basic production and vital energy conditions of more than 210 poor counties statewide and more than 19 million people in deeply impoverished areas.
Currently, the average power outage time in rural areas has decreased significantly, the comprehensive voltage rating rate has increased from 94.96% to 99.7%, and the average distribution capacity per household has increased from 1 , 67 kVA to 2.7 kVA.
At the same time, there have been profound changes in rural energy use. On the one hand, the level of electrification has increased significantly. The current rate of rural electrification is around 18%, an increase of 7 percentage points over 2012; the utilization rate of refrigerators and washing machines has increased significantly and air conditioning has more than doubled in 2012. Induction cookers and rice cookers have become common kitchen tools and motorcycles. Agricultural vehicles are gradually being replaced by electric vehicles.
On the other hand, the degree of clean energy consumption is constantly improving. In 2018, clean energy represented 21.8% of total rural energy consumption, an increase of 8.6% over 2012, and the use of straw and firewood decreased by 52.5%. Electricity, natural gas and biomass energy are used more for heating in winter in the northern regions.
The effect of poverty alleviation driven by energy poverty alleviation is increasingly evident. “The revenues from PV poverty alleviation projects are stable and effective, and have a direct effect on poverty alleviation.” Zhang Jianhua said that a total of 26.36 million kilowatts of photovoltaic poverty alleviation plants have been built across the country, benefiting nearly 60,000 poor villages and 4.15 million poor households, which can generate income from power generation every year. About 18 billion yuan, corresponding to 1.25 million public welfare jobs.
Not only that, energy development and construction have also created a wealth of job opportunities for poor areas. Since 2012, a total of 31 large-scale hydropower plants have been built with a total capacity of 64.78 million kilowatts in poverty-stricken areas, 39 modern coal mines, with an annual production capacity of 160 million tons clean, high-efficiency coal-fired power of more than 70 million kilowatts, and a total of more than 100,000 jobs have been created.
The focus of PV poverty alleviation shifts to operation and maintenance.
Among the energy poverty alleviation methods, photovoltaic poverty alleviation is a new attempt in China to develop industrial poverty alleviation and asset income alleviation. It is the world’s first Chinese plan and a benchmark sample for specific poverty alleviation.
According to Li Chuangjun, head of the Department of New Energy and Renewable Energies of the National Energy Administration, PV poverty alleviation is widely welcomed in poverty alleviation, mainly due to its various characteristics: one is the popularization of resources. , “light resources are available everywhere”; The maintenance is simple, “the photovoltaic panels can be assembled to generate electricity”, the third is stable income, “the generation income is monthly”, the fourth is sustainable operation, “the general useful life of electricity generation can reach 20 -25 years”.
Li Chuangjun said that the Office of Energy, together with the Poverty Alleviation Office of the State Council, the Ministry of Finance and other relevant departments, has worked hard to support photovoltaic poverty alleviation. In addition to making solid progress on the construction task, it has also continually improved the policy system. In short, they are “four advantages and two no”.
The “Four Excellent” consists of prioritizing the scale and construction plan, priority programming to ensure full consumption, priority to be included in the financial subsidy list, and priority to issue financial subsidy funds. The “dos not” mean that as long as the cost of PV plants has been continuously reduced in recent years, the electricity price of PV plants for poverty alleviation will not be tendered or decreased. These policies have effectively guaranteed the benefits of photovoltaic poverty alleviation.
In fact, in recent years, the pace of the photovoltaic parity grid has been accelerating. Gao Jifan, chairman of the China Photovoltaic Industry Association and chairman of Trina Solar, said in an interview with the “Daily Economic News” reporter that while guiding the development of PV parity grid projects, subsidies should be given reasonable to projects that need subsidies, especially Subsidies should be provided for domestic photovoltaic power that benefit ordinary people.
“At present, all relevant construction tasks have been completed and the current focus of the work has shifted to operation and maintenance.” Li Chuangjun said that the next step is to standardize operation and maintenance management. While ensuring the operation and maintenance of professional forces, make good use of the national photovoltaic poverty alleviation information management cloud platform and carry out full life cycle monitoring through the technology of modern information to ensure the normal operation of the power plant.
