1. Heavy! Guangdong Province's offshore wind power subsidy program officially launched

Recently, Guangdong Province has issued the “Implementation Plan for Promoting the Orderly Development of Offshore Wind Power and the Sustainable Development of Related Industries”. The plan proposes that from 2022, Guangdong Provincial Finance will provide investment subsidies for projects that are not covered by the state subsidies in the sea areas under the management of the province. The grid price follows the benchmark price (parity) of coal-fired power generation in our province, and promotes the smooth transition of project development from subsidies to parity.

Among them: the scope of the subsidy is for provincial-managed sea area projects that have been approved before the end of 2018 and will be fully connected to the grid from 2022 to 2024. There will be no subsidies for projects connected to the grid from 2025; the subsidy standards are 2022, 2023, 2024 Annual full-capacity grid-connected projects will subsidize 1,500 yuan, 1,000 yuan, and 500 yuan per kilowatt respectively; the subsidy funds will be settled by the provincial finance to establish a special fund for offshore wind power subsidies, and the specific subsidy measures will be separately formulated by the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and the Provincial Department of Finance. Encourage relevant local and municipal governments to support project construction and industrial development with supporting financial funds.

On June 17, the Shandong Provincial Energy Administration issued a notice on matters related to the construction of wind power and photovoltaic power generation in Shandong Province in 2021 in accordance with the "Notice of the National Energy Administration on the development and construction of wind power and photovoltaic power generation in 2021".

In accordance with the requirements of relevant national documents, establish a diversified guarantee mechanism for grid connection such as guaranteed grid connection and market connection. Wind power projects approved before the end of 2018 and within the validity period of the approval are included in the list of national bidding subsidies for 2019 and 2020 but are not yet connected to the grid for photovoltaic power generation projects under construction, and parity wind power and photovoltaic power generation demonstration projects and bidding in 2019 and 2020 Transfer parity and other stock projects into the guaranteed grid-connected scale of Shandong Province. Inventory projects are connected to the grid in a guaranteed manner by power grid companies.

Accelerate the development and construction of stock projects that are included in the guaranteed grid-connected scale of Shandong Province, and clarify the time limit for completion and commissioning. The bidding and affordable photovoltaic power generation projects announced by the state in 2019 and 2020 must be completed and connected to the grid at full capacity by the end of 2021; the remaining projects must be completed and connected to the grid at full capacity by the end of 2022. For projects that have not been completed and connected to the grid on schedule according to the above requirements, they will be removed from the list of guaranteed grid-connected projects and can be re-declared as market-based grid-connected projects in the future.

4. The first domestically-made large-scale offshore wind turbine was successfully hoisted

Recently, good news came from Huaneng Jiangsu Rudong H3# offshore wind power project. The first domestically-made large-scale offshore wind turbine jointly developed by Huaneng-Haizhuang was successfully hoisted, laying a solid foundation for the final grid connection and commissioning of the units.

The Huaneng Jiangsu Rudong H3# project is located in Niujiaosha on the east side of the provincial management area. The center of the wind farm is 39 kilometers away from the shore and the planned area is about 90 square kilometers. The project started construction in October 2019, with a planned total installed capacity of 400MW, and plans to install 80 Chinese offshore wind turbines. After the project is fully put into operation, it will provide more than 1 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity, which can save 312,000 tons of standard coal, reduce 840,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, 8,000 tons of sulfur dioxide emissions, 7,000 tons of nitrogen oxides, and save about 3 million cubic meters of water. , In order to promote the green development of the industry and achieve the "30·60" dual-carbon target to provide a strong impetus.

9. The first domestic delivery of 1000㎜2 triple-core submarine cable over 40 kilometers in China

On June 10th, under the witness of Liu Haijun, Party Branch Secretary and Deputy General Manager of State Power Investment Corporation Xuwen Wind Power Co., Ltd., and Qian Zhikang, Deputy Secretary and General Manager of Hengtong High Voltage Party Branch, Jiangsu Hengtong High Voltage Submarine Cable Co., Ltd. The company (hereinafter referred to as "Hengtong High Voltage"), the second 220kV (3*1000㎜2) large-length and large-section submarine cable of the Zhanjiang Xuwen Project of the State Power Investment Corporation was successfully delivered at the Hengtong Port Terminal.

It is understood that this is the first domestic production and delivery of a large length (over 40 kilometers) and large cross-section (1000 mm2) three-core 220kV submarine cable project in China, which is a new development milestone for Hengtong High Voltage. The production process of long-length submarine cables is more complex, and factories must have strong process technology and equipment capabilities to ensure the manufacturing of submarine cables. Under the tight schedule and strict requirements, Hengtong overcame difficulties with high pressure, coordinated internally and externally, and successfully completed the production tasks. In April 2021, Hengtong High Voltage completed the production task ahead of schedule and successfully delivered the first 33.56 km 220kV (3*1000mm2) submarine cable. The successful delivery of the second round of nearly 41 kilometers, and the cumulative delivery of about 74 kilometers in the two times, has laid a good foundation for the realization of the company's marine strategic goals in the company's 14th Five-Year Plan.
