Wind power development is constrained by the transmission channel waiting to be erected

“Because of resource advantages, wind power is more suitable for development in the northwest of China. In recent years, wind power capacity in the western region has doubled in 4 consecutive years,” predicted Pengfei Shi, vice chairman of the Wind Energy Professional Committee of the China Renewable Energy Society.

Meng Xianqi, deputy director of the China Renewable Energy Society, pointed out that China’s installed capacity for wind power in 2009 was 25.8 million kilowatts, with only 17 million kilowatts actually put into operation. In terms of actual power generation, the amount of wind power generated in that year accounted for only 0.75% of the total power generation. . In the first quarter of this year, China's wind power generation amounted to 18.8 billion kWh, an increase of 60.4% year-on-year. Despite this, the lack of power generation capacity still makes the development of wind power questioned by the outside world.

Lagging of the transmission channel is considered to be an important reason that restricts the development of wind energy. CTO Secretary-General Wang Zhixuan said: "Because there is no long-distance power transmission route, Inner Mongolia accounts for 24.3% of the country's coal production mostly by road and rail transport, accounting for one-third of the country's wind power installed capacity is limited. ”

Accelerating cross-regional transmission channels has also become a consensus among all sectors. Xiangcai Securities Research Institute analyzed that due to the recent “electricity shortage” of the area mainly concentrated in the economically developed areas in the east and south, UHV construction is conducive to solving the shortage of power coal capacity. It is expected that UHV development will accelerate.
