On July 26, the photovoltaic industry's development review in the first half of 2018 and the second half of the situation outlook seminar were held in Beijing. Xiong Minfeng, director of the New Energy Division of the New Energy and Renewable Energy Division of the National Energy Administration, said in his speech that the new distributed PV in the first half of this year The installed capacity of 12.24 million kilowatts, an increase of 72% year-on-year, the new scale exceeded the centralized photovoltaic for the first time, reflecting the future development direction of photovoltaic power generation.
According to the deployment of the National Energy Administration, this year, photovoltaic power generation has gradually entered a high-quality development stage, which is reflected in four aspects: First, the development and utilization efficiency is steadily improved; Second, the power generation structure is continuously optimized; Third, the industrial technology level is significantly improved; Fourth, market competitiveness continues to increase.
According to data from the National Energy Administration, in the first half of this year, while PV installations and power generation reached record highs, the overall light rejection rate and the abandoned photoelectric output achieved double decline. The national photovoltaic power generation capacity was 82.39 billion kWh, an increase of 59% year-on-year; The national light rejection rate was 3.6%, down 3.2 percentage points year-on-year, and the abandoned photoelectric output was 3.04 billion kilowatts, down 7.1 billion kilowatt hours. The problem of abandoned light gradually improved. The 'double rise and double drop' marked the development benefit and the energy efficiency. improve.
In terms of technology upgrades, the advanced components preferred by the base competition in the first half of this year, the average conversion efficiency of single-crystal and polycrystalline components in the leading bases reached 18.9% and 18% respectively, and the conversion efficiency of the technology-leading base components was higher than that of the application base. 1.7 percentage points, reflecting the obvious trend of technological progress in the photovoltaic industry.
According to Xiong Minfeng, with the technological advancement of the photovoltaic industry, industrial upgrading, the price of photovoltaic modules is declining, the cost of photovoltaic power generation is gradually decreasing, and the market competitiveness continues to increase. The third-party application of the leading base has a price reduction of 0.24 yuan over the benchmark price. In kilowatt hours, the average price dropped by 36.7%; the lowest electricity price reached 0.31 yuan / kWh, becoming the first photovoltaic power station in China that is lower than the local coal-fired benchmark price.
The decline in photovoltaic power prices and the continuous improvement in competitiveness have significantly reduced subsidy dependence and promoted parity online. It is estimated that after the implementation of the 5 million kilowatts application leading base, the annual electricity price subsidy is only 700 million yuan, which is the average annual average power station of the same size. Savings of 1.65 billion yuan. Shows good market prospects for PV development.
Looking back on the past six months, in order to promote the high-quality development of photovoltaic power generation, the National Energy Administration will further improve the photovoltaic power generation policy system with the relevant parties: First, focus on optimizing the development environment of photovoltaic power generation; second, implement photovoltaic poverty alleviation in a solid and orderly manner; Base construction.
The reporter learned that in the first half of this year, the National Energy Administration established a market environment monitoring and evaluation mechanism by launching special supervision work on photovoltaic power generation, and issued policies and policies to reduce the investment and operation burden of enterprises in the field of renewable energy, etc., to strengthen industry supervision and guide enterprises to rational investment. To optimize the development environment of the industry; implement precise poverty alleviation, precise poverty alleviation requirements, standardize and strengthen photovoltaic poverty alleviation management, and promulgate the “Measures for the Management of Photovoltaic Poverty Alleviation Power Stations” and the “Action Plan for Further Supporting Energy Development in Poverty-stricken Areas to Help Poverty Alleviation (2018-2020)” To promote poverty alleviation in poverty-stricken areas; guide and urge local governments to complete the competition optimization of the third-phase leading base, and ensure the implementation of the leading base. At present, the application of the leading base has started construction, and the construction of the technology-led base has been promoted in an orderly manner.
Previously, the National Energy Administration said that it will continue to support the development of photovoltaics in the future and continue to work with relevant parties to promote the sustainable and healthy development of the photovoltaic industry. 'From a single development scale to high-quality growth is the current development mission of the photovoltaic industry. It is also the development direction of the National Energy Administration. 'Talking about high-quality development, Xiong Minfeng revealed to the participants, 'Transporting the focus of PV development from expanding to upgrading and improving efficiency, that is, shifting to scale expansion to focus on quality development, Optimize scale management and maintain a reasonable pace of development. '
In addition, the National Energy Administration will also work hard to reduce the burden on enterprises, and promote the implementation of the “Notice on Reducing the Burden of Enterprises in the Field of Renewable Energy”, so that the requirements of the measures can be implemented and the PV companies can be lightly loaded. Photovoltaic companies create a good business environment.
Xiong Minfeng finally said that in the new stage of development of photovoltaic installations reaching 150 million kilowatts, facing the new situation of development and new requirements, I hope that all parties concerned will firmly develop their confidence and focus on long-term development; pay more attention to technological innovation, develop model innovation, and strive to promote High-quality development of photovoltaics; actively explore the PV parity online mode, strive to achieve full-price Internet access at an early date; actively promote local government support policies, strive to reduce non-technical costs, continuously optimize the business environment, jointly create a good market environment, and promote the sustainable development of the photovoltaic industry Healthy and orderly development.
