As the scale of the new energy industry continues to expand, the demand for construction of energy storage projects has also increased. Recently, ministries and localities have intensively introduced relevant policies, and the implementation of the "new energy + energy storage" project is entering the fast lane. Following Shandong’s release of the list of energy storage pilot demonstration projects in 2021, Shanxi also initiated the first batch of "new energy + energy storage" pilot demonstration projects.

A few days ago, the Shanxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission issued the "Notice on Organizing the Application for the First Batch of "New Energy + Energy Storage" Pilot Demonstration Projects", which kicked off the opening of the first local "New Energy + Energy Storage" demonstration projects. According to the requirements of the notice, the project can start construction before the end of 2021 and be completed and put into operation before the end of 2022. At the same time, the first batch of pilot demonstration projects has a total energy storage scale of 500,000 to 1 million kilowatts.

Shandong has previously released a list of energy storage pilot demonstration projects in 2021. The province pointed out that it is necessary to seize important opportunities for the country to vigorously promote the development of energy storage, make good use of the power market reform policy dividends, integrate various resources, strive for relevant policies, funds and project support, and accelerate the promotion of the province's energy storage pilot demonstrations. The project is effective.

Du Hong, deputy general manager of Beijing Beibian Microgrid Technology Co., Ltd., told reporters that the development of "new energy" and "energy storage" promotes each other. Relevant departments and many places work together. As more projects are implemented, It will drive the development of the entire industry into the fast lane.

Judging from the recent deployment of relevant policies, the central and local governments are encouraging and supporting the development of the "new energy + energy storage" industry. In July, the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Development of New Energy Storage", proposing that by 2025, the development of new energy storage from the initial stage of commercialization to large-scale development will be realized. The market environment and business model are basically Mature, with an installed capacity of more than 30 million kilowatts, new energy storage has played a significant role in promoting carbon peak and carbon neutralization in the energy sector.

At the local level, the Shanxi Provincial People's Government issued a notice on the "14th Five-Year Plan" new business format in Shanxi Province, mentioning that Shanxi will carry out a pilot demonstration of "new energy + energy storage". In accordance with the demand for peak shaving of the power grid, organize the implementation of a number of different types of energy storage demonstration projects, and carry out the integration of generation and storage, such as "wind power + photovoltaic + energy storage", "distributed + microgrid + energy storage", "large grid + energy storage", etc. Business model.

In addition, Ningxia, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia and other places have also introduced new energy configuration energy storage plans, and "new energy + energy storage" is becoming the "standard configuration" of the local new energy industry. According to incomplete statistics, in 2021, at least 11 provinces require new energy power stations to be equipped with energy storage, and the allocation ratio is mostly required to be within 10%. At present, relevant projects are accelerating.

Prior to this, energy storage projects of major energy companies have landed one after another, and the scale of the industry has not expanded much. In July, the State Grid Times Huadian Datong Energy Storage Project, Ningde Xiapu Energy Storage Project, and Jiangsu Yiwei Linyang Energy Storage Project broke ground one after another. Among them, the Datong 300MW/600MWh energy storage project invested and constructed by Ningde Times, State Grid Times and Huadian Company is expected to be put into operation at the end of December 2021. After the project is completed, it will become the first large-scale, centralized lithium-ion battery energy storage power station in Shanxi Province. . Editor/Xu Shengpeng
