Speech of Pan Zaoyun, Party Secretary of Yangzhong City

September 16, 2017


潘早云

 

 Distinguished leaders and guests,

 

Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends,

 

Good morning!

 

On behalf of the CPC Yangzhong City Committee, the City People's Government of Yangzhong and the 340,000 Yangzhong people, I would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone!

 

Hailed as "a pearl in the river and a garden on the water", Yangzhong cherishes a green dream, and displays the beauty of low carbon life through green energy development, production and application.

 

Green development is gradually becoming the most important pursuit of countries and regions worldwide. As an island city, Yangzhong has paid close attention to green development. As a result, green development has become the undertone of the city and our greatest dream.

 

Yangzhong's green industry started early and developed rapidly. From the introduction of the photovoltaic industry to Yangzhong by Dr. Shi Zhengrong in 2004 to the recently launched new flexible photovoltaic module project, PV companies in Yangzhong have been dedicated to technology research and development in the last decade. Technology and products of companies such as Daqo Group and Huantai Group take a leading position in the industry.

 

Yangzhong has established the first “Solar Power Photovoltaic Industrial Park” in Jiangsu province. Currently, there are 40 PV companies in Yangzhong, whose output reached 34.5 billion yuan in 2016 with total production of 1.25 billion silicon wafers, 500MW PV modules and 80,000 crucibles.

 

Meanwhile, expanding construction of distributed PV power station have enabled more and more organizations and individuals to enjoy “green power”; combination of fish farming and solar power generation realized coordinated development of agriculture and new energy; national policies such as the Belt and Road Initiative helped Yangzhong’s new energy industry spread to Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and also countries like Kazakhstan.

 

As of now, new energy power generation capacity installed and transmitted to grid for Yangzhong’s companies and public organizations reached 134.6 MW, and 6MW for residents. In 2016, we were approved to build a national demonstration city with a high proportion of new energy to open the new chart of constructing “Green Energy Island.”

 

In recent years, we have vigorously treated sewage, prevented floods, drained stagnant water, diverted running water and kept water clean, reduced coal consumption, cut excessive chemical production capacity and controlled air pollution. "Yangzhong Blue" has gradually become the normal.

 

Green elements represented by green energy application are secretly making their way into the life of Yangzhong people. The popularization of distributed PV power stations has benefited more and more enterprises, institutions and residents; the practice of the model of "fishery-PV integration" has achieved a multi-layer use of space and the coordinated development of agriculture and new energy; and the popularization of new energy vehicles and buses has made the concept of low carbon travel and green consumption take root in the hearts of the people.

 

Yangzhong was once a lonely island, but the self-motivated Yangzhong people have built one bridge after another on the island to connect Yangzhong to the world. The International Green Energy Development Conference today is another bridge linking Yangzhong to the world. This is a bridge of cooperation through which we will complement each other's advantages and achieve win-win outcomes in industries, technologies and other fields. I believe that we will create a brighter future through this golden bridge. 

 

Thank you!
