BEIJING, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) -- East China's Jiangsu Province is planning to build two clean energy bases with 10-million-kilowatt generating capacity each by the end of 2027 to further promote the province's green and low-carbon development.
By 2027, the installed capacity of offshore wind power and offshore photovoltaic in Jiangsu's coastal areas is expected to increase by more than 10 million kilowatts, respectively.
In order to alleviate the problem of “difficult delivery” of clean energy in the northern and southern regions of Jiangsu and efficiently promote consumption of new clean energy, the province will support industrial parks to carry out comprehensive application of new power system technologies such as AC and DC distribution network, new energy storage and multi-energy complementary, said Cheng Liang, director of the Development Department of State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Co.
According to Cheng, the State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Co. will also accelerate the transformation and upgrading of Jiangsu's backbone grids by promoting the construction of 500 kV coastal transmission channels.
In the meantime, the company will accelerate the digital transformation of power grids and further promotes the aggregation and regulation of new energy, power load, and energy storage through collaborative operation and hierarchical control of the main power network, distribution network and micro-grid, Cheng said.(Edited by Yang Yifan with Xinhua Silk Road, yangyifan@xinhua.org)
