New Energy Power Generation Develops Fast in China

(Leider steht für diesen Artikel keine deutsche Überetzung zur Verfügung.)

According to the data from National Energy Administration, the renewable energy consumption accounted for 9.9% of total primary energy consumption in 2009, up from 8.4% in 2008. In 2020, this number is expected to reach around 15%.

The West China will become the important base of new energy in China. Gansu province is developing wind energy and solar energy by establishing Wind Power Generation Base in Jiuquan and two PV grid-connected systems of 10 MW built in Dunhuang. Inner Mongolia is another important wind power base in China. By the end of January, 2010, the installed capacity of wind power in Inner Mongolia had surpassed 3,000 MW, accounting for 25% of the totals in China. At the same time, the installed capacity of wind power under construction amounted to 750 MW.

Wind Power

From 2004 to 2009, wind power industry in China developed quickly, with the installed capacity of wind power increasing from 764.4 MW to 22,000 MW. On August 8, 2009, China began to establish the first wind power generation base with capacity of ten thousand MW, namely, Jiuquan Wind Power Generation Base. On December 25, 2009, the installed capacity of this base exceeded 2,000 MW, and it is expected to further reach 5,160 MW in 2010.

According to the plan of National Energy Administration, the installed capacity of wind power is expected to reach 150,000 MW in 2020.

Nuclear Electric Power Generation

The speed of nuclear power has been accelerating in recent years. In 2009, there were 24 nuclear islands under construction. By the end of 2010, there will have been over 30 nuclear islands under construction. China has become the world's largest country in terms of nuclear power scale under construction. In 2020, the installed capacity of nuclear electric power generation is expected to be top 60,000 MW.

Solar Energy Electricity Generation

By the end of 2009, the total installed capacity for photovoltaic power generation in China exceeded 200 MW. In 2020, the total installed capacity of solar generation is expected to reach the range from 20,000 MW to 30,000 MW.

Currently, China has over 10 solar photovoltaic cells manufacturers with capacity over 100 MW. In addition, the total capacity of established PV grid-connected system approached to 10 MW.
