Encouraged by the tariff adjustment policy, operators actively promoted the approval of new projects in 2017 and the energy authorities in various regions also supported the approval plan. It is estimated that 2018 and 2019 will be another peak period for wind power construction.
Data show that by 2018 unverified wind power projects approved to reach about 114.6 GW. According to the wind power price adjustment scheme, these projects need to start construction in 2018 and 2019 to obtain the feed-in tariff of 0.47-0.60 yuan / kWh, otherwise the feed-in tariff will be adjusted to 0.40-0.57 Yuan / kWh.
Offshore wind welcome the development of large-scale development
With the clear pricing policy of offshore wind power in our country, the construction cost continues to be optimized and the supporting industries are maturing, offshore wind power also ushers in an "acceleration period." According to the plan, in 2020, China will ensure that 5 GW of grid-connected offshore wind power will be started and 10 GW of grid-connected power will be started. In fact, at present, the long-term planning of offshore wind power in various provinces has exceeded 56 GW.
The data also confirm the "heat" of offshore wind power. In January-November 2017, the open bidding capacity of domestic wind power projects was 25 GW, unchanged from the same period of 2016. Among them, the offshore wind power project tenders 3.1 GW, an increase of about 1 times, accounting for 12.4% of the national bidding, investment demand showed a good momentum of development.
Now, due to wind power cuts, red warnings and other factors, the space for the development of centralized wind power in the "Three Norths" region will be further compressed in the short term. Meanwhile, with the improvement of wind power technology, it will operate under complicated topographic conditions and operating conditions The project's ability to enhance.
Even the projects with small installed capacity can realize the optimal design of the layout scheme, thereby further expanding the space for development of decentralized wind power.
With the implementation of pilot projects in the distributed power generation market, electricity reform fully activates the demand-side market and the cost of decentralized wind power is also expected to accelerate and reduce. As a result, the era of cheap access to Internet will come soon. For decentralized wind power, 2018 is a year worth the wait.
