As the top priority of China's energy green transformation during the 14th Five Year Plan period, the construction of new energy bases with a focus on deserts, Gobi, and desert areas is in full swing. The first batch of projects are rushing towards the end of the year, and the second and third batches of projects are also accelerating construction. According to the deployment, the construction of the "Shagehuang" new energy base will be accelerated by 2025, which will bring significant incremental development to new energy. It is expected to add about 200 million kilowatts of wind, solar and photovoltaic installed capacity for the whole year next year. On the edge of the Kubuqi Desert in Hangjin Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, rows of photovoltaic panels rise and fall with the continuous sand dunes, shining brightly under the sunshine. This is the site of the first batch of key projects in China's "Shagehuang" base - the 2 million kilowatt photovoltaic pilot project of Huaneng Kubuqi New Energy Base. Construction personnel are making final preparations for the project to be put into operation and connected to the grid by the end of the year. There are a total of 418 photovoltaic arrays here, with an area equivalent to 6000 football fields. Under the photovoltaic panel, we planted sand plants such as licorice, reed grass, and scallions according to local conditions. In the future, this' photovoltaic Great Wall 'will continue to expand, not only generating electricity, but also controlling desertification Li Feng, the project manager of the pilot project, introduced it. It is reported that the planned total installed capacity of Huaneng Kubuqi New Energy Base is 16 million kilowatts, including 4 million kilowatts of wind power, 8 million kilowatts of photovoltaic power, and 4 million kilowatts of supporting coal-fired power. It is also equipped with energy storage and ecological governance projects. It is expected to provide about 27.4 billion kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually, save about 8.62 million tons of standard coal, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 23.24 million tons. With the integration of our national defense sand control and new energy development, the "Shage Desert" area has become a new blue ocean in the energy field. According to the "Planning and Layout Plan for Large scale Wind and Photovoltaic Bases with a Focus on Deserts, Gobi and Desert Areas" previously released by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration, by 2030, the total installed capacity of large-scale wind and solar bases with a focus on deserts, Gobi and desert areas is planned to reach 455 million kilowatts. Since the beginning of this year, China has accelerated the construction of large-scale wind and photovoltaic bases. Recently, a number of projects have been intensively completed and put into operation, including the 4 million kilowatt photovoltaic project of Zhonglv Power Ruoqiang, the 1 million kilowatt photovoltaic phase II project of Inner Mongolia Huadian Tengger "Shagehuang" large-scale wind and photovoltaic base, and the Guotou Aksai Huidong Photovoltaic+Photovoltaic project. According to the reporter's understanding, the first batch of base projects is about 100 million kilowatts, which have been basically completed and put into operation. According to the deployment, all of them should be completed and connected to the grid before the end of 2024. The second batch of projects are partially connected to the grid, and the construction of the third batch of projects is also accelerating. Under this driving force, China's wind and photovoltaic industry has experienced significant growth and development. According to data from the National Energy Administration, by the end of 2024, the installed capacity of wind power in China will reach about 510 million kilowatts, and the installed capacity of photovoltaics will reach about 840 million kilowatts, fulfilling China's solemn commitment at the Climate Ambition Summit six years ahead of schedule. 2025 is the final year of the 14th Five Year Plan. The Central Economic Work Conference proposed to promote significant achievements in the landmark campaign of the "Three Norths" project and accelerate the construction of the "Shagehuang" new energy base. The recently held 2025 National Energy Work Conference has clearly stated that in 2025, we will vigorously promote the development and utilization of wind and solar power, and actively promote the construction of the second and third batches of large-scale wind and solar power base projects in the "Shagehuang" region. Approximately 200 million kilowatts of wind, solar, and photovoltaic installed capacity will be added throughout the year, with renewable energy consumption exceeding 1.1 billion tons of standard coal. In the view of Professor Sun Chuanwang from the China Energy Economy Research Center at Xiamen University, the construction of the "Shagehuang" new energy base is of great significance for China to accelerate the construction of a new energy system and promote the green and low-carbon transformation of its energy structure. During this process, issues such as power transmission, energy storage, and consumption also urgently need to be addressed through synchronous acceleration. The just held National Energy Administration 2025 Regulatory Work Conference showed that a package of measures to assist transformation and promote consumption will be launched. For example, we will vigorously supervise and promote the construction of the "Shagehuang" new energy base, carry out special supervision on the allocation and utilization of regulatory resources, improve the market mechanism for new energy and new entities to participate, and continue to ensure full coverage of green certificate issuance. The construction of transmission channels is also a key focus. In 2025, the National Energy Administration will approve the construction of a number of key power mutual aid projects, actively promoting the approval and commencement of power transmission channels from western Mongolia to Beijing Tianjin Hebei, Gansu Badain Jaran Desert Base to Sichuan, and southern Xinjiang to Sichuan Chongqing. Sun Chuanwang suggested that the problems faced in the construction of new energy bases should be solved from three aspects: technological innovation, infrastructure improvement, and market mechanism optimization. Firstly, increase research and development efforts in flexible direct current transmission technology and energy storage technology to enhance power transmission and storage capabilities; Secondly, accelerate the integration of source, grid, load, and storage deployment, promote the construction of regional power grid infrastructure, and enhance the carrying capacity of new energy grid connection; Thirdly, promote the application of distributed electricity trading markets and shared energy storage business models to enhance the nearby consumption capacity and resource utilization efficiency of renewable energy.
