Finally standing on the soft land of Zhengdouba, it has been a three-and-a-half-hour bumpy drive. Looking far and wide, solar panels are covered with undulating alpine degraded pastures. Here is the main battle of the National Electric Power Group Sichuan Company. The location of the Xinnaga Photovoltaic Power Plant - Zhengdou Township, Zhengdou Township, Xiangcheng County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, more than 4,000 meters above sea level.
The township is a Chinese transliteration of the Tibetan 'card name', meaning 'the beads in the hand'. The Piao Teng's Shuoqu River runs through the county from the south to the north, and the white houses are distributed along the river bank, overlooking the beads that are like strings. , hence the name.
'Don't eat by the sky'
When the Xinna Gaba photovoltaic power station was put into production, 'depending on the day' had a new meaning.
Ganzi Prefecture is located in the western Sichuan Plateau. Due to special geographical and environmental factors, the state's industrial base is weak, and the situation of poverty alleviation is grim. 2017 data shows that 17 of the 18 counties (cities) under the jurisdiction of Ganzi Prefecture are Provincial key poverty-stricken counties account for 20% of Sichuan Province; 1360 poverty-stricken villages, accounting for 50% of the whole state; Jianshi Lika poverty-stricken population of 197,400, accounting for 17% of the whole state. Zhu said that the local area mainly relies on the sky to eat, because of poor traffic, it is not convenient to go out to work.
Although the industry is relatively backward, Ganzi Prefecture is the region with the most abundant solar energy resources in Sichuan Province. This area has high altitude and low cloud cover. The total radiation in most areas is 4500 MJ/m2—6400 MJ/m2, and the sunshine hours are 2000-2680. Hours, the conditions for building a photovoltaic power station are very good.
Under the introduction of the government, the National Electric Power Investment Group Sichuan Company learned that the construction of the photovoltaic power station is excellent in the township of Zhengcheng Township. After more than three years of preparation, February 10, 2017, the total installed capacity of 50MWp Zhengdou PV The power station officially started construction.
This is a very difficult construction project. The altitude of the plateau at 4100 meters is only 60% of that in the plain area. Some staff members have severe altitude sickness and high turnover rate. During the construction of the project, it is necessary to enter the team side by side. Looking for the reserve of the team. Another major difficulty of the project is the transportation of materials. Since there is no supporting industry nearby, cement and building materials need to be transported from the neighboring province of Diqing, Yunnan Province. The cargo transportation of Zhengdou PV power plant project has reached more than 1,000 times. The road to Zhengdou Township is extremely poor. When traffic jams occur, it will affect the construction period.
According to the on-grid tariff policy for photovoltaic power generation, the grid-connected project will enjoy the previous on-grid tariff before June 30, 2017, and the on-grid tariff for grid-connected projects after June 30 will be reduced by 0.13 yuan/kWh. Although the project construction period is very tight, Under the coordination of the party, the project finally rushed to the grid to generate electricity on June 30, and enjoyed the on-grid price of 0.88 yuan / kWh.
The construction of Zhengdou PV power station also brought a rich labor income to the local herdsmen. According to Ze Zhu, the local labor service company was established by the village, the villagers and the labor service company signed the labor contract, and the villagers unified the arrangement through the company. Working in the photovoltaic power station, the enthusiasm of the villagers to work is also very high, more than 800 people in the two nearby villages have worked on two photovoltaic power station projects. It is understood that only the labor costs paid to the local herdsmen by the Zhengdou PV power plant project will reach 3 million. yuan.
Photovoltaic power station construction needs to occupy land. In addition to labor income, local villagers can also obtain part of the subsidy through land lease fees.
At the beginning of 2017, the Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued the “Implementation Opinions on Poverty Alleviation Work in Sichuan Province”, and decided to implement photovoltaic power generation poverty alleviation projects in areas with better solar energy resources in the province, to promote stable income growth of poverty-stricken households, and to eliminate poverty. Evaluation, National Power Investment Group Sichuan Company was selected for the list of photovoltaic poverty alleviation and development cooperation enterprises in Sichuan Province.
In response to the actual situation in the Tibetan areas of Sichuan, the National Electric Power Investment Group Sichuan Company implemented the “Potential Construction, Poverty Alleviation” photovoltaic poverty alleviation project in the Xinlong, Shiqu, Seda and Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefectures of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.
On June 29 this year, Xinnajia Photovoltaic Power Station was connected to the grid for power generation. This is a photovoltaic poverty alleviation power station built in different places. Due to the sparsely populated areas of Sichuan, the proportion of poor people is large, distributed widely, and scattered, and photovoltaic power station construction. Site selection requires a careful consideration of the enrichment of solar energy resources and the supporting conditions, such as traffic, power transmission channels, etc., which leads to the difficulty in unifying areas with excellent construction conditions and those in need of poverty alleviation.
In order to resolve this contradiction, the National Electric Power Investment Group Sichuan Company solved this problem by means of 'concentrating construction, helping the poor in different places'. The poverty alleviation target of Xinnajia Photovoltaic Power Plant is Shiqu, Gansu Prefecture, Seda, Xinlong County. With an installed capacity of 80MW, the project can extract 9.212 million yuan of poverty alleviation funds every year, and provide a total of 182.44 million yuan of poverty alleviation funds for 20 years. This fund will solve 3539 households with poverty alleviation in the above three counties, 9213 The precise poverty alleviation problem of people.
According to Wang Fuwen, general manager of Ganzi Branch of Sichuan Power Company of the State Power Investment Group, the PV poverty alleviation power station has already determined the scale of poverty alleviation funds when the indicators are registered. The Xinnajia Power Station is handed over to the State Immigration Bureau for 9.212 million yuan of poverty alleviation funds each year. Allocated to each county, the poverty-stricken households who set up the file will receive 1,000 yuan of poverty alleviation funds per year.
Difficulties in photovoltaic poverty alleviation in Tibetan areas
Due to changes in policies, the role of enterprises in PV poverty alleviation is also changing. In March this year, the National Energy Administration and the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office jointly issued the “Measures for the Management of Photovoltaic Poverty Alleviation Power Stations” (hereinafter referred to as the “Measures”). In principle, the power station should be built in accordance with the village-level power station in the construction of the poverty-stricken village of Lika. The local governments should raise funds for construction, and enterprises should not invest in shares.
Although the method also encourages PV companies to actively fulfill their social responsibilities, adopting a combination of agricultural light, animal husbandry, and fishing light to support poverty alleviation with market-based income, but in the context of current subsidies, the attraction to enterprises is not great.
For the Tibetan Plateau Tibetan area, where the light resources are abundant and the photovoltaic power can be fully absorbed, the centralized photovoltaic power plant has obvious scale benefits. The data shows that the average annual power generation of Zhengdou PV power plant reaches 78.28 million kWh, and the annual utilization hours For 1566 hours, the internal rate of return on capital is 14.99%. According to Wang Fuwen, the current installed capacity of photovoltaics in Sichuan Province is less than 3 million kilowatts, accounting for a relatively small proportion.
Wang Fuwen said that it is not realistic for Ganzi to do distributed PV poverty alleviation. The cost of routine maintenance and operation is too high. The local government lacks the corresponding management talents. Through the centralized power station revenue, the money is sent to the people every year. This is more realistic. .
After the New Deal, the PV industry subsidies will accelerate, and when it will be able to achieve parity online, Wang Fuwen said that it can be realized as soon as next year. It is necessary to reduce costs and complement each other and make full use of the channel. Be prepared to make a loss, but you must have a long-term profit.
However, in the long run, centralized power plants have gradually drifted away from photovoltaic poverty alleviation. The National Electric Power Investment Group Sichuan Company is working hard to promote PV parity online, and hopes to complement the water, wind and light, and strive for government preferential policies. Support local poverty alleviation work. 'Doing a business must also have a minimum income. If it is completely lost, it will not come.'
